    .224 62GR Sciroccos Swifts.

    Not sure if many know the .224 swift comes in 62Gr now opposed to just having the 70Gr in .224 for a long while. I was alerted to the new projectile by a fellow member, and another sourced some for me.

    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.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.
