Barrel erosion has always been the big bugaboo with the .220 Swift. With a
muzzle velocity of 4110 fps, barrel wear came quickly, and after a thousand
rounds or so, those 100-yard, one-inch groups started to spread a bit.
And, yeah, there's way too much old crap here too, including yours truly. We
hired a 16-cu. yd. roll-off dumpster the week of Thanksgiving and filled it to
overflowing with stuff from the basement. It's hard to tell we did much of
anything down there, except I can now actually get to the old 1974 Honda 550
four that hasn't been ridden in 20 years and the Omega B-7 enlarger way back in
the corner that hasn't made a print in nearly that long. :-[
