[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 23792, member: 25"] I have shot several boxes of 180 Sciroccos in the .300 Win. mag. It is an ideal hunting bullet as it will stay together on close range shots since the core and jacket are boned (you can count on 80% weight retention). Sciroccos are one of the most accurate bullets that I have encountered - but they can be fussy and you might have to play with OL's and powder charges. They are pretty long and you might have to seat them fairly deep to stay at factory O.L., otherwise load them out to the lands if your magazine will permit. I got best accuracy with them loaded with a stout load, your rifle will let you know if it will shoot Sciroccos. I got best accuracy with H-1000 in my rifle, also H-4350 is shooting very nicely. I used Winchester brass and Win. magnum primers for my loads. I just shot a few boxes of Black Hills Ammo factory loaded Barnes 180XLC's and they held consistently at 1.0 inch in an out of the box Sako 75 in .300 Win. with a 3x-12x Swarovski TDS. We are getting better accuracy with the 168XLC but have only shot them in .308's so far. [/QUOTE]
