[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 528367, member: 20443"] Well even though I was dissapointed with how the swifts sorted I think I'm going to run them this year. I was testing these (since I already had some sorted) and bergers. I got the 150 swifts to higher velocity than the 140 bergers and was able to get a load that shot .66" at 100 yards with an ES of 6, hard to pass that up and bear season starts in aug. Final load is 68.5 gr of H1000 using 150 swift scirocco II .010 of the lands in RWS brass, velocity is 2962-2956. Max load was 70 gr velocity at 3044 with an ES of 7 but grouping wasnt great (over 1"). I'm sure I could play with seating depth and shrink this down but with hunting season closing in I'm ready to get off the range and start shooting in the field, so it just isn't worth the 80-90 fps for me to play with it. I'm ready to get out and stretch the distance, I think time will be better served in the field instead of the range chasing the extra velocity [/QUOTE]
