Swift 210 Scirocco 338 WM 2990FPS

[DrMike]

Great performance in that particular bullet.

Every time someone posts a picture of a recovered Scirocco they look awesome. Love how wide they expand and how consistent they are.

You aren’t kidding Gerry. I believe they are creeping to the top of becoming a favorite.

Lagerboy, thanks for posting them. Just perfect!

They are a top choice in bonded bullets or any bullet for that matter. Need to try them in our 260. 6.5x55 and 270 Win, they were my favourite in the 264 WM.

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.

They aren't easy to find but X-Reload in Quebec carry them and a few others across the country do as well. You are right that they are a great bullet, I wish they were a bit easier to find.

I'm thinking, I might give them a go this year.
I have a load worked up with my 300 Win. Mag. 180 grain bullet going just over the 3100 mark.
I would also like to try them in my 338-06. That 210 grain bullet looks to be a hammer.
It all depends on the tags I get drawn for this year. I'm still waiting for some.
Take care

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.

Very nice. They’re excellent bullets.

Well here's another pic of a recovered Swift Scirocco. This one was pulled from a bull elk shot at 12yds just behind front shoulder. It was lodged against opposite side hide. It weighed 190gr and expanded to .803in. I have shot 2 moose and 4 elk with this combo. 338-06AI shooting 210gr Swift Scirocco. Have recovered every bullet in same location. That being opposite hide.

Both the Scirocco and the A-Frame have performed well for me in a variety of cartridges.

 

[JD338]

Perfect bullet performance. They did their job.

Swift Scirocco are excellent bullets, I have used the 150's in the 7 STW to bag several bull nilgai , all shots have been pass throughs. A few was shot in neck, and others right at the crease of the shoulder when broadside. Very tough bullets, and the A-Frame as well, but never used A Frames on game.

 

[RL338]

12yds into an elk will test the integrity of a bullet and the Swift held it’s ground.

 

[SJB358]

Great recovery and congrats on the bull.

 

[lagerboy]

Thanks SJB. Can't, for the life of me, figure out why more people aren't using these bullets. I'm the only one in my circle of hunting guys using these. I guide also up here in Sask. I never see a client using these bullets. Crazy.

 

[SJB358]

They’re hard to get ahold of. I agree though. Those are one of my favorite hunting bullets. If they shoot, I’m usually beyond happy. I have a 25-06 that big holes them at 3400 with RL26. It acts way bigger than it is.

Love the Scirrocco’s
