220 Swift Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 220 Swift with the free, in-browser MyLoads internal-ballistics simulator. The figures below are illustrative estimates from a physics model — not a recommended recipe. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

220 Swift reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)62,000 psi
Nominal case capacity47.5 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.224 in (5.69 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.224 60 gr V-MAX
Powder
Alliant RL-19
Charge
37.8 gr
Barrel
26 in

Muzzle velocity

3,016 fps

Peak chamber pressure (interval, ±10% burn-rate)

26,358 – 34,652 – 44,149 psi

nominal is 56% of the 62,000 psi maximum average pressure

Illustrative example — every figure here is an estimate and can be wrong. Always consult a current published loading manual, and never trust these numbers on their own.
