I have a savage 10FP Tactical in 223 and a Savage 110FP Tactical in 30-06. One of them is going to become a 220 Swift. I'm thinking of a fluted varmint barrel, 24 inches, and 1/12 or 1/14 twist.

The 110 already has the right size bolt head. Will the follower in the 30-06 work for the 220 Swift?

With the 10FP I know I will have to switch out the bolt head, and I'm betting I have to rework the magazine box.

Anyone had any experience in this switch?

A few people keep telling me to go 22-250, but I don't reload that cartridge and I'm not in the mood to start something new.
