    Swift Scirocco II 25 cal 100gr

    about to start load development for my 25/06 and was wondering if anyone else had tinkered with it and had any success?

    My Rem 700 XCR grouped these ok with 56/2213 but MV well below it's potential. Any attempt to push them over 3200 blew groups well out. If you need a few more, I know where a part-box might be found! Good luck.

    The listed bc by Swift is pure fantasy, have tried them and done the drops - if you have to go bonded core, go the 110 Accubond, if you must have bc, go the 115 Berger.

    Me, I go neither, Sierra Prohunter kills Tahr out to 400 and sometimes past there fast and clean. One Swift projectile will buy you four Sierra PH or GK's

    Swift Scirroccos are very tough/hard bonded pills, not really suited to a 25cal imo. My choice for 25-06 deer hunting pills is the 117SST and the 120gn Nosler Partition.
