    Anyone still using the 220 swift

    I've always had a hankering for a farquharson in a proper "flanged" cartridge as a hunting rifle, but have never been in the right place at the right time.
    Anyhow I now have a no1 ruger in 220 swift, it qualifies as it's "semi rimmed"
    Does anyone else use this "relic round". I would be interested in hearing your experiences, is it any better than the 22 varminter (22 250)
    My intention is for it to be a "specialty" wallaby and hare number.
    Economy of powder etc isn't a consideration in this case.
