I will try the 165 grs Swift Scirocco in my Tikka. The purpose is red deer and Norwegian caribou. And, of course, trying something a haven`t tried before. Advises and experiences? Do any of you have a pet load?

I used the 150gr Scirocco bullet in a .280 Remington, velocity around 2900fps, on two PA Whitetall deer this season. Both dropped where they stood. Each of the bullets exited leaving no chance for recovery, one on a frontal quartering shot that exited behind the off-side shoulder and the other exited high in the off side loin taking out 5 short ribs in the process after entering the front of the chest. I have no quarrel with the bullet. Also, they shot very accurately in my rifle.

Check out these bullets:

They are from L-R a 160 g Failsafe, a 140 g failsafe, a 140 g partition, and a 150 g Scirocco all 7mm and fired through Milk Jugs of water. As you can see, the Scirocco almost self destructed. It only penetrated 3 jugs compared to to 6 jugs with the 140 g Failsafe.
I haven't tried the 30 Caliber 165 g Scirocco, but I would be leary on how they will preform on the size game your using them for. I would have to try the milk jug test on them before I would be comfortable using them.
