    Someone posted a bar chart a while back detailing the muzzle velocities, muzzle energies, bullet weights and cartridge sizes of various rounds a while back. I thought it was very useful for comparing rounds and was wondering whether the person might post it again? It might be a good resource for stickying for people looking for solid information of the rounds concerned as well.

    No, that wasn't it. It compared all the round information on different charts, though that one is pretty handy too.

    No. I think Rovi posted it, thinking back, so may wait until he can comment on it.

    It was probably the one comparing the MV of various rounds,
    I think the thread was comparing the swift with a Rem mag

    It had a different chart for muzzle energy, muzzle velocity, average bullet weight and cartridge size at least, and the rounds were from .22lr to .220 swift and every common varmint round in between methinks. Worth finding again, thought it was good. Also, a side issue, but one that was on my mind. If reloading takes off here, is it possible to reload .220 swift, turning a very expensive round into a viable option?

    yeah 220 swift can be reloaded , and good results are achieved with a number of different powders alongside ballistic tipped ammo-at todays prices reloads cost about 80 cents each.......
