[QUOTE="300winnie, post: 818128, member: 4372"] When the Swift Scirocco II first came out I was giddy with excitement as the original Scirocco shot wonderfully in my Browning A-Bolt .300 Win Mag. It was a sub-m.o.a. shooter with those bullets. I took the II's out and tried them...and tried them...and tried them and could not get them to group worth a hoot. When I got a good group I couldn't duplicate it. I ended up canning the whole idea and moving to Nosler Accubonds. For whatever reason I feel the urge to see if I can conquer the II's in my gun again. I have been doing a lot of reading and studying on where to go from here, and the best advice I can come up with is Eric Stecker's article on finding the sweet spot with VLD bullets. I know that the Swift Scirocco II is designed with a secant ogive, thus qualifying it as a "VLD" type bullet. My question is this: Will the process he describes work with the Swift bullet, or are there other considerations I am missing? Thanks [/QUOTE]
