Built for Varmint and Predator Shooting
This load pairs a light, fast 50 grain Pointed Soft Point with the 220 Swift, a combination built for prairie dogs, groundhogs, coyotes and other varmints where a flat trajectory and rapid expansion matter most.
Varmint bullets are designed to open quickly on small, thin-skinned animals. That fast expansion also reduces the chance of a ricochet compared with a solid or full metal jacket bullet, although you still need a safe backstop for every shot.
Because varmint shooting often means many shots in a day, a box of Remington 220 Swift 50gr with consistent velocity from round to round makes it easier to learn your holds and stay on target.

Varmint Shooting Tips
Use Remington 220 Swift 50gr only in firearms chambered for 220 Swift.
Let the barrel cool between strings of fire; a hot barrel can shift your point of impact and wears the throat faster.
Confirm a safe backstop and know what is beyond your target before every shot.
Clean copper fouling regularly during high-volume days to keep accuracy consistent.
Remington 220 Swift 50gr is a superb choice for shooters who want a ready-made varmint ammo from a known maker.
Reading the wind
Light varmint bullets drift in the wind more than heavier hunting bullets. Watch grass, mirage and dust, and keep a simple wind chart for this load at common distances.
Know your limits
A flat-shooting load makes long shots possible, but only take shots at distances you have practiced from the same position.
Landowner relations
Many varmint hunts happen on private farms and ranches. Close gates, avoid livestock and shooting near buildings, and you will be welcome back.
Reading the box
The box lists the caliber, bullet weight and bullet type. Always match the cartridge to the caliber stamped on your firearm’s barrel or slide, and never fire ammunition that is not specified for your firearm.
About Remington
Remington 220 Swift 50gr comes from Remington, and the specifications listed here follow the maker’s and our distributor’s published data for this item. Compare loads by bullet weight, bullet type and intended use to find the best fit for your firearm.
Buying the right amount
When you find a load that performs well, buy enough for practice and the full season at once. Ammunition from the same lot tends to perform the same, which keeps your results consistent.
Safety first
Always treat every firearm as loaded, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Wear eye and ear protection every time you shoot.
Understanding bullet weight
Heavier bullets in a given caliber usually leave the muzzle slower but carry momentum well and resist wind drift, while lighter bullets shoot faster and flatter at shorter ranges. Neither is better in every case; the right choice depends on the game, the distance and your firearm.
Choosing the right load
Start with the job you need the ammunition to do, whether that is hunting, target shooting or practice. Then match the load to that job, and finally test a few boxes in your own firearm, because every barrel has its preferences.
