Mine shoots the 55 Nos pretty good, but the 55 Blitzkings go all over the place and I mean bad! Match bullets shoot itty-biddy groups.

My 1-14" Krieger barreled Swift shoots the 55 grain Vmax and Nosler Ballistic Tips with wonderful accuracy. I order the 55 grain Nosler 2nds by the 1000 for this gun. When shooting ground squirrels I like 40 and 50 grain bullets for it but may opt for the 55 grainers for prairie dogs.
Like you, I have no interest in shooting heavy bullets in my Swift. What critters that I am gunning for dont need no long heavy bullets. I have killed prairie dogs out past 700 yards with 50 grain Ballistic Tips. Worked just fine for me.
