| The problem with R-22 and 168 gr TTSX bullets is that you will have a very compressed load. I tried it with 70 grs of R-22 and it was scary to me how compressed the load was. I got about 2992 fps and 3/4 moa. I tried 70.5 grs and got less velocity. I was hoping for 3,100 fps.
I settled on 180 gr TTSX and 64.2 gr of R-17 (not a compressed load). I used CCI, LMR primers and got well over 2,900 fps and sub moa accuracy. I don't have any experience with Swifts, but I am sure they are shorter than the Barnes bullets, so less of a compressed load problem I would guess. |

| I loaded some of the 168TTSX with the RL22 to try and chronograph. I thought I would also try the RL17. I may load a few with the 180gr TSX's as well. |

| I'm using 77.5 grains of R22 in my Remington 300 WM with a 165 grain Hornady Interbond. Very tight groups with a velocity of 3278 FPS. |
