Have any of you guys tried these 210 grain projectiles on game in Africa?

And how have they shot on paper?

Yes, I have used them both on game and paper.

Both were excellent performance. Recovered two bullets from game and showed perfect expansion.

The are NOT for deep penetration like the A-Frame, but are fine for plains game, Elk or Moose, but I would not hunt Big Bears with them.

I used 73 gr of Rel 22 in my 338 Mag and seated the bullets .043 off the lands.

Terry,

Appreciate the feedback, thank you.

Swift is about to appoint a new distributor here in Australia, so will definitely give them a try then.

Blair, fwiw, I've used the 180 grain Scirocco from my 30.06 on black bears. All pass throughs and drt.

It is a picky bullet, pure copper, pure lead, but when you find the sweet spot, they are very accurate.

good luck

Doc,

Thanks for that.

I had heard they were picky............

Just have to get lucky, though with this 338 RUM of mine I won't have to try very hard

My father took the Scirroc I's to Africa in his custom 338/416 Remington 3 years ago. They performed flawlessly on all of the plains game he shot there, from Kudu, to Wildebeest, Impala, Blesbuck and then some. He recovered a couple. I don't recall the weights but I believe the weight retention was in the 70-80 percent range. I also used them extensively in my custom 338/378 Weatherby until they switched to the new Scirroc II's. As for the Scirocco II's... I'm sure they'll perform as well as the original... problem is neither he nor I can get them to shoot at all through either of our guns. The originals were one holers, but the new Scirocco II's don't shoot for squat. I've still got 3/4 of a box left of the 338 Scirroco II's that I hope I can get to shoot. Just bought two new types of powders I've never tried before to see if they'll make a difference.

If they'll shoot in your gun, I have no doubts you can count on them.
