The .220 Swift has held its reputation as one of the fastest commercial rifle cartridges ever made since 1935, and Remington's High Performance load puts that speed to work with serious intent. This 50 grain pointed soft point delivers 3,780 fps right out of the box, giving you the flat trajectory that makes extended-range varmint shooting manageable without excessive holdover.
That velocity translates to about 1,350 fps at 500 yards with roughly 200 foot-pounds of energy still in the tank. The pointed soft point design means the bullet expands reliably on impact, peeling back its copper jacket to create a wider wound channel while transferring energy efficiently. This matters a lot when you're working at distance or dealing with smaller varmints where margin for error matters. The ballistic coefficient of 0.175 keeps the bullet moving flat through the air, which is exactly what you need for prairie dogs, groundhogs, and similar game.
Remington's High Performance Rifle series starts with premium components and maintains ultra-tight tolerances throughout assembly. The brass is new production, boxer-primed, and reloadable, so if you're into handloading (and many Swift shooters are), the cases are worth saving. Non-corrosive primers and quality brass mean these rounds will perform consistently whether you're shooting them fresh or months down the line. Each box contains 20 rounds packed in a standard format.
The .220 Swift demands respect. It shoots fast enough that modern barrel life expectations are 1,500 to 2,500 rounds depending on your rifle, maintenance routine, and how hard you push it. That speed also means throat erosion happens faster than it does with more moderate cartridges. But that's the trade-off for the ballistic performance. If you're using a quality barrel and practice proper maintenance between shooting sessions, you'll get solid accuracy and terminal results that justify the cartridge choice.
With this 50 grain PSP load at 3,780 fps, you're looking at solid performance out to 350 yards or beyond for varmints. The flat trajectory and high velocity keep bullet drop minimal, but energy retention matters too—at 500 yards you'll still have around 200 foot-pounds of energy, which is effective on small game in the right circumstances.
Yes. Remington loads their High Performance rounds with reloadable brass cases that are boxer-primed, so if you're a handloader, the brass has value beyond the initial shot. Many Swift shooters reload because factory ammunition availability is limited and handloading lets you tailor loads to your specific rifle and manage powder charges if you want to extend barrel life.
This ammunition is loaded to standard pressures for .220 Swift. If your rifle is chambered in .220 Swift, it will handle this load safely. Just make sure your rifle is actually chambered for .220 Swift and not a different caliber before firing. The Swift does run at high velocity, so keeping your barrel clean and maintained between shooting sessions is important for consistent accuracy and barrel longevity.
Remington built this line specifically for hunters who need reliable terminal performance without premium pricing. The tight tolerances and premium components mean you get consistent velocity and accuracy shot to shot. It's not exotic ammunition, but it delivers real-world results in the field where it counts.
