I read today that there are bullets available now that will let the ol' Swift be loaded effectively to 4500 fps. That's smokin', and puts it in rare air, as far as centerfire varmint calibers go. Of course, the depleted uranium rounds that are used out of the M1 Abrams smoothbore gun leave at somewhere between 5700 and 6300 fps, according to who's talking, but that's another class of varmint gun, eh?

Eighty-eight years old and still outrunning the bunch. Pretty cool, IMO.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
