Historical Notes Regarding the 220 Wotkyns-Wilson Arrow (Cartridges of the World, 11th Edition)
The 220 Wotkyns-Wilson Arrow was the work of Grosvenor Wotkyns and L.E. Wilson and is the 220 Swift with the shoulder angle increased from 21 degrees to 30 degrees. It dates back to the 1940s. Cases are made by reforming unfired 22 Swift cases in full-length sizing dies. Because of the longer neck, standard Swift ammunition will not fully enter the Arrow chamber and cases cannot be made by fire-forming.
General Comments Regarding the 220 Wotkyns-Wilson Arrow (Cartridges of the World, 11th Edition)
The 220 Wotkyns-Wilson Arrow represented an effort to remedy a problem by making a minor change in cartridge configuration. Factory Swift cases had the reputation of lengthening after only a few firings, requiring frequent trimming. Changing to a steeper shoulder angle improved headspacing and made for longer case life. The Arrow was a popular benchrest cartridge and a true long-range varmint number. It delivers ballistics comparable to the 220 Swift.
