[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 554908, member: 505"] You are dead on about the swift scirocco. It is the best controlled expansion lead core hunting bullet on the market. It is a true premium hunting bullet and would be an excellent choice for the 7mm RUM because the velocity will evaporate high bc target based vld bullets. Remember this is hunting and number one you want to pick a good premium hunting bullet that will not blow up on impact and will retain it's integrity to carry the energy through the animal. Energy figures are worthless if the bullet doesn't hold together. Then second you want to look at the highest bc you can shoot well in a premium hunting bullet. Target type high bc bullets can get you by on deer and antelope type animals but when you start looking at large bull elk they will get you in trouble unless you are shooting something like the 300 grain 338 bullets. Your 7mm RUM will do a very good job during it's barrel life which is very short. Just to much powder down to little a hole. I built two in 1998 when I necked the soon to be released 300 RUM to 7mm, 338 and 358. The 7mm's shot great but lost accuracy under 500 rounds from throat erosion. Both of mine had 31" match barrels and shot fantastic on my 1000 yard range. [/QUOTE]
