Went straight down (as has everything else shot with it) just doesn't give me much confidence in the projectile after seeing that. Shooting will be limited to around 400m so the swifts will still have plenty of velocity to expand

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    Don't count on it Sam, I had a lot of runners when I tried using 130 Sciroccos in a .260 @2800fps. They drilled tiny little holes, even at close range.

    I put Adam onto them last year.
    He even made me upload photos of the one from the 6.5-06 on a bull @ 400

    They go alright in my .260 but not as good as the Amax accuracy wise so I just plan on using them as bush loads for the roar and Amax for everything else.
