Thread: .224 62GR Sciroccos Swifts.

They have a rather high BC for a .224 projectile of its size of .309 wich have matched all soloutions in shooter for me so far, out to 550yrds.


I use a charge of 26gr BMII behind them in military brass for my .223 barrel getting 3240fps with no pressure signs. I only use the brass once anyway.
I have not shot anything significant with them yet other than a few varmits and some steel but so far, I am very happy with the accuracy.
I never try to body shoot larger animals with my .223, so projectile choice is not an issue but if I have to, I think these will go ok.
Expensive at a dollar a pop but performance always defeats cost.

Where from??

Ask Sneeze. He got a few hundy for me. If you want a sample pack I will send you some up when I get back in a couple weeks? 2 bucks a pop?

OK, sound fair just to show you what a good bugger I am too, I'll let you fill up the boat when you finally get round to coming up to look for one for yourself.

Just found a full unopened box of Hornady 75gn A-Max projectiles and a part box.
Don't work to well in a "rattle gun" as they need to be seated too deep, (almost past the start of the Ogive) to fit in the mag
Should work in a bolt gun OK

You want to trade??

No thanks mate. I have no use for a 75gr .224 bullet. I will bring up a sample for you when I get up to grab my gear.
