Quote: I was test loads at 100 yards in my #1 last week and shot this group, third group of the day. 68 grains of H1000 pushing a cheap Rem. 150 corelock. Sorry about the focus.
Nice Bill! BTW I shot my 204 with factory ammo. About 1/2-3/4" if I do my part and learn to deal with that trigger
My handloads and a trigger job will help I am sure.

A first year production pre-prefix that I had rebarreled to 270 Wby as the original 22-250 barrel was a POS.
Second, a 26" varmint weight swift.
Third, a 24" bicentennial varmint weight 300 Winchester. I understand this one was made in very limited numbers. Any ideas on how limited the production was? Thanks.

Good job! I had terrible accuracy with my #1 in 25/06. solved that problem via a local smith who glass bedded ans floated my barrell. Sinced then accuracy will rival any gun I own. Forend warpage was the culprit.
Never bought one that would shoot, only had one I couldn't fix but a buddy did. Still have 2, a .22 K-Hornet and Bob. Both had the forend mod. and triggers replaced, both shoot well under MOA w/factory barrels. Bob will NOT shoot anything heavier than 90 grs. worth crap. I won't buy any more of them, but will tinker with some other falling block actions soon enough.
The 243 Win. Ruger No.1 B best groups 9/10 In. with 85 Gr.Speer BT bullets,43.5 Gr.IMR 4530,CCI 2000 pimers,0.025 In. FB,Win. brass. The 25-06 Ruger No.1 B will shoot 1.2 In Groups but with sum reloads I get 3.5 In. vertical string of shots. I`m going to try free floatin the barrel. Some time I think they should be traded off for some bolt action rifles, but I like the looks of the darn things.
Quote: I sure hope that they shoot good, as I just got a 1v in a 220 swift.
I checked out the trigger at it was a 4 3/4 lbs and said thats to heavy for a p-dog shooter. So its at the gunsmith and getting a new Moyers adjustable trigger and a new speed hammer and hammer spring. I hope to get it back tommorow and will be testing it out on paper ASAP.
If anyone has any good p-dog loads for the 220 swift that they would like to share with me I am all ears.
I honed my 204 Ruger #1 trigger to 1.75 lbs!
