When I was young and working at a local sporting goods store, I got in a conversation with a much older gentleman than myself. We were discussing the age-old debate between a light and fast bullet and a heavy and slow bullet.

In this conversation, I took away one piece of wisdom that I have found to be true. 

"Son, let me teach you something that only comes from a lifetime of experience. Light and fast bullets kill dramatically, but heavy and slow bullets will kill reliably."

I have found this to be extremely true over the years, at least with cup and core bullets. I've seen fast bullets break up and fail to penetrate, whereas a heavy bullet may not dump the game right there, but it will consistently cause a short blood trail to your game.

That story about grandma was just what i needed to hear tonight. Thank you for sharing.

Congrats on the 100K subscribers, Ron. You've  earned it.

Federals terminal ascent is hands down my favourite round made at the moment, results speak for itself!!

@josephpeterson7109

Your "trick" to use your binoculars while still hunting to slow one down and concentrate is spot on.  One will not only slow down but will see much more game. I have used the technique from south Texas brush country to lodgepole stands in the mountain west and where I grew up and first used it in the north woods of Minnesota.

Congratulations Ron on reaching 100000😊

@Dale37

That story was a heart tugger for sure. I really enjoyed listening to you tell that.

I have a 220 swift in a lovely ruger no1 , W.D.M BELL used a 220 swift I have some rod and gun magazines 1939 of review he made on the 220 swift a Winchester 54 with a 4 power Zeiss scope

@basemandog

I Love the 220 Swift.
I have 2 of ‘em
I am shocked they are not more popular

@ethancuny3913

I love what you just said about you know different agricultural practices. I’m one of those that may be a little bit different use regent as to rotational grace my goats, my horses and my milk cow and I’ve got some chickens. I’ve got wild turkeys. I’ve got wild deer I want to improve that someday and release some pheasants on my property and I want them to be able to thrive brush and certain things that they can hide in, and want to improve somewhere and eventually get to the point where I can release some quail which means I’m gonna have to keep an eye on the predator. There’s a fine line though there’s a bouncing act nature itself.

@rustynut8560

I believe that PO Ackley said that you could kill any animal in the north American continent with the 220 swift. He was a hugh fan of the swift.

@demetriuscooksey7147

My Dad killed lots of deer and antelope back in the 70s and 80s with his 220 Swift. Neck shots are somewhat controversial, but he took them whenever possible so as to not ruin much meat, and it always dropped them quickly.

@robertrogish1038

In the 70"s, my Dad would tell us of the merits of the Swift. He told of those who would take whitetail, elk and moose with the .220. Looking forward to hearing you Ron.

@LarrySchubarth-mc1ym

Thanks for another great video. Nice shirt by the way.😊

@rcorn149

More bout swift is always welcome. Frank Glazer stories are always good.

@ethancuny3913

The funniest thing remember is me and my brothers and my dad we got these bucks and right before that. We took a picture with my grandma and we are all there and she’s getting up there while into her 80s and green fog coming out from her. he was giving her a hard time  passing gas we all started laughing and laughing even grandma was laughing

@dimensionsofearth

I noticed the plaque right away! I've been waiting for it

@chrisdaniel1339

Dalton should consider the 260 or 7mm-08 instead of the 243 or 308

@Marcus-jg4jb

I think you're wrong on how to get a 30/30 or a 300 BO to penetrate through and make blood trails. Vortex has done some penetration tests on gel with cartridges in that class and they've seen the monolithic bullets penetrate markedly less than the heavier cup and core options. What you want, I think, to get penetration from moderate velocity cartridges like those is bullet weight to get your momentum higher. (Momentum is effectively mass times velocity, where energy squares the velocity.) The 170 flat nose always has seemed to penetrate markedly better than the 150's in my experience and in the experiences of the guys i know who use the 30/30 a lot.

220 Swift… What a great (small) deer cartridge.
