220 Swift or 224 TTH
What is the difference in these two? They seem to be about the same in velocity etc. Any one have any experience with these? Is one more accurate, etc. I want to rebarrel a .308 Remington 700 to a faster .223 type of round for coyote hunting and occasional target shooting. Thanks.

The main difference between the 2 is that the 224/6mm (TTH) is designed with a fast 1-in-8 twist to stabilize 70-80 grain bullets. It will send them 3700-3800 fps. If they were both made with the same twist the wildcat would probably have a slight velocity edge. My .224/6mm likes the 75 grain AMAX's at 3500fps.

Good Hunting,

I believe the TTH is about 10% more capacity over the Swift. I wanted the TTH too until I realized the higher price for a wildcat chambering, dies and the fact it will (with the correct 1-8") eat normal bullets for breakfast. I'm cheap so I did the swift thing, no regrets.

Thanks guys for the info. Im cheap too. Just might get the 6mm Remington in a 700 VS and be happy. I have one of the 243 WSSM's on order now in the Win M70 for a walking varmiter. 6 lbs!!!. See how I like that first.
