1. Velocity - Swift burns more powder, marginally faster with 20fps - 150fps more depending on the load. Marginal difference really.

2. Accuracy - Same range of bullet weights, with tuned hand loads should be the same in either rifle.

3. Efficiency - 22-250 burns less powder for very similar results.

4. Cost to run - 22-250's definitely easier to find ammo for.
