[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 2704, member: 25"] Dantec, I was fortunate to be on the first hunt with the 7mm Sciroccos. Lee Reed, Stan Watson and I hunted bears with the bullet before it was introduced. The bullet weight was 150 grains and the fellows used a 7-08 and a 7mm Rem mag on some nice bears. Recovered one bullet after it angled full-length, it was still in the 80+% range. Does Norma load a 140 grain or did you perhaps mean 150 grain in 7mm? I would definitely rate the Scirocco as a "stout" bullet. I have shot them since Lee first started designing them and they are accurate and completely reliable on game. There are some rumours about them only being intended for smaller game. The prototypes were tested on a moose and elk hunt in British Columbia (killed both) and on a wild boar hunt in Texas. Unfortunately for us shooters, Lee is not with Swift anymore but I expect Sciroccos will continue to be developed. [/QUOTE]
