338win mag loads using 210gr swift sciroccos?
How’s it going everyone I was looking for some load data on the 210gr swift scirocco. I haven’t decided on a powder yet fortunately my local sporting good stores have pretty much everything. Any help is appreciated got them on sale so figured I would try them tell I saw how little data there is

That bullet preforms best at around 2700 to 3000 ft/s velocity.I used the data for a nosler partition. I have used H414 H380 imr 4064 and imr 4350 accuracy was ok around 1-1/2" groups.
Hodgdon has all the load data you will need

Thank you have you ever used H4350 with them?

I use RL-19 or H414, and get 3000 FPS plus just a hair..but over the years I lost my love for the 210s and have gone to the 225 Accubonds mostly for elk but used them in Africa..Both H414 and RL-19 are pretty close to H4350 in burning rate but they are small grained and hold more powder and measure without cutting grains.

I also have 10 boxes of some old 275 gr. Speers. that came from Elmers stash and at 2400 the sure do the job..

I decided if I intended to use 200 and 210s I be better off using them in a 300 or 30-06 for that matter and use the heavy bullets in my 338s..just my two bits for conversation.

I may be the opposite. Over the years I used the 250 NP. With the advancement of all-copper bullets I went to the 225gn TTSX with excellent results. The 225 TTSX was equal if not better in penetration to the 250 gn NP and with flatter trajectory and less wind-drift.

However, the 225gn are so good in penetration that I'm now considering the 210 TTSX as an all-around all-copper bullet. The 210 has better trajectory than the 225TTSX and equal wind-drift. I would imagine that the 210TTSX would at least equal the 225 Accubond in penetration. So far the accuracy has been impressive and I plan to do some more testing in Oct.

Yes, one can use a lighter monolithic bullet and get equal results to a heavier lead jacketed bullet, and a flater trajectory, but all this is on paper, in the field the difference in most of this stuff is of minor importance and the end results is less than claimed....I trust a Nosler partition more than any monolithic, based soley on my personal experience but I know others with as much or more kills than I on buffalo and DG that swear by monolithics..Mostly they prefer Barnes...I like the GS Custom bullet (monolithic) about as well as any bullet, but today its a push, all the bullets today seem up to the job required..
