How is accuracy 130 gr 6.5 Scirroccos?

Wondering if it is worthwhile to invest in a box of 130 gr Scirrocos, 100 bullets at $52.00, for my 6.5 rem mag. It has a Douglas 1 in 8 twist. The BC for that bullet is .571 which is pretty decent.

Right now it shoots the 140 gr Sierra Game Kings like a house on fire, but I would like to shoot a bullet that will stay together.

I have not had good luck with Scirroccos in the past for accuracy but wondered if anyone has tried these.

I shoot the 6.5 130 Sirocco IIs in my 6.5x57R.

Used them on several prong horn hunts over the past few years.

Accuracy at 200 is well under MOA when I do my part.

Performance on prong horn has been excellent. shots ranged from 85 to 250 yards.

Have not tried them on larger game, but would not hesitate to based on my experience.

Scirocco is one of my favorite bullets of all time. However, I got some 2nd accubonds in 130 to try first. They are excellent.
