Here are a few more pics of a 210gr Scirocco fired out of a 338-06AI at 2860fps. The bullet was recovered from a spike bull elk shot at approximately 175yds quartering towards me. The bullet weighed 193gr and expanded to .744in. It was dug out of the opposite side lodged against the hide.

Nice. Well good luck. Don't want to be a nag but remember start small and work up. I started at 57gr.

Hawk It has a 22.75in barrel. Crazy Swedes. I'm just curious but what rifle do have?

I was skeptical at first to be sure. H4831sc has been so good for so long. Like you SJB358, I just thought I'd try it for grins. Had read lots about it. Now glad I did.

Here it is guys. 61.5gr RL26 3.295 COL 140gr Hornady BTSP CCI 250 Primer 3115 fps I started at 57gr of RL26. No stiff bolt and primers are fine with the aforementioned load.

No problem SJB. The only problem being is that they are hard to find here in Sask. Luckily I have enough to last me. I'm guessing Swift doesn't have the resources that some of the other top manufacturers have for advertising or distributing. Too bad. Such a great bullet.

SJB those are very nice results you have with the Scirocco. The Scirocco's are very underrated IMO. Hard to ask much more than that from a bullet. I use them in my 338-06AI. The bullets pictured here were from a bull elk shot at 70yds. All were found up against the opposite side hide. 2 weighed...

Hey preacher. I live and hunt the boreal forest fringe we have here in Sask. targeting these big mature deer we have here. As you know the body weights and horn size of these deer are crazy big. For 20+ years I've been using the combination of 56.0gr H4831sc and the Hornady 140gr BTSP. Never...

Using RL26 in my 23.5in Husqvarna I'm getting 3115fps. Accuracy is great. Less than 1 moa. Settled on 61.5gr under a 140gr Hornady BTSP. Cheers.

I'm using 61.5gr RL26 along with the Hornady 140 BTSP and getting 3115 fps. Groups are less than moa. This from a 23.5 inch Husqvarna.

Thanks Rem Man. I figure I got lucky finding a load this good this quickly. But I'd rather be lucky than good any day. I just joined this site days ago and I'm glad I did. Seems there are a lot of knowledgeable and kind folk here. When I began shooting the 270 in the late 90's who would've...

Thanks guys for the info. I use Winchester brass for the other two rifles I reload for. A 338-06AI and a 22-250. I'm just being cheap by using these Imperial cases.

270elk those are excellent results. Very high velocity. The barrel on my Husqvarna is 22.75in. Maybe that has something to do with my lower velocity. Are your Winchester cases near full?

hubcap, you might laugh but I'm using some old Imperial cases from a box of 20 factory ammo that my father give me many years ago. They were new never fired. I pulled the 160gr bullets from them and here we are. Primers are CCI 250. The gun is a model 9000 Husqvarna. The OAL is 3.295. The cases...
