What caliber has the highest muzzle velocity?
Among standard rifle cartridges the Winchester .220 Swift is the velocity standard bearer. It clocks in at 4,000 ft/s (1,200 m/s). Rifles chambered in the caliber tend to have shorter-than-usual barrel lives. Among standard pistol cartridges the Smith and Wesson .460 is the current record holder at 2330 ft/s.
How does a 220 swift compare to some snipers rifles?
The 220 Swift is amongst, if not the fastest, of all rifle cartridges. So fast, that it burns out barrels (the throat). It is a .22 caliber bullet, and is designed for and used for varmit shooting (predominately ground squirrels). .30 caliber (.308, 7mm, 8mm, 30-06, etc.) are considered big game cartridges and military cartridges...slower than the Swift, but heavier. .220 projectiles are too light, and over .30 caliber distances would lose speed and mass (big impact from a big bullet). If the .220 had been good for such duties, it would've been adapted by the military & law enforcement agencies decades ago. Even though the .223 is also a varmit cartridge, it was small enough for carrying large amounts of rounds for jungle warfare...where accuracy was NOT the issue; but rather throwing out masses of lead (projectiles). The M16 .223 (5.56mm NATO) was specifically deployed to South Vietnam for jungle warfare, no other reason; the M14 Service Rifle (7.62mm NATO/.308) was retained by ALL OTHER US Army & Marine units that were NOT in South Vietnam, until the war was over, then it was replaced by the M16 Jungle Rifle.* *Reference: "American Rifle-A Biography" by Alexander Rose; (2008) ISBN 978-0-553-8051-78
Is ruger m77 220 swift long action?
Yes, the Ruger M77 chambered in .220 Swift is considered a long-action rifle. The .220 Swift cartridge is longer than standard short-action cartridges, which is why it requires a long-action platform for proper feeding and function. Ruger M77 rifles are designed to accommodate various long-action cartridges, making them versatile for different shooting applications.
What does caliber stands for in relation to firearms?
The general rule that is mostly true a lot of the time is that "caliber" is the diameter of the bore (the hole inside the barrel through which the bullet passes) as expressed in decimals, using inch units of measure. So a "thirty caliber" rifle would have a bore of .30 inch or 30/100 inch. A "twenty two caliber" gun fires a .22" diameter bullet. But "caliber" also means a particular name of a specific cartridge of a certain height, weight, width, angle, and gunpowder charge. For example, a .22 "long rifle" bullet weighs 40 grains and moves at an initial velocity of 1000 feet per second. But a .220 Swift rifle cartridge fires a bullet of the same diameter, but longer and heavier, and at over 3,000 feet per second. Two different caliber cartridges, but in each case the hole in the rifle's barrel is about 22/100 inch. I was not the question.
