[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 25851, member: 25"] Steve, I have shot the 165 Swift Sciroccos out to 700 quite a lot with excellent accuracy. Kills made just over 500 with complete pass-throughs on mule deer and caribou. We also have very good accuracy with the 168 Barnes XLC, have tested it out to 1000. Killing accuracy to 600 in our rifles, several kills that went well. Hornady is also just introducing a 165 with a pointed plastic nose and boat-tail, I have been shooting early production bullets and getting sub 1/2 minute groups at 100 yards with 43 gr. Varget. This is a very nice looking bullet, hope to shoot it long soon. Flip a coin, these are very reliable long range bullets and there are probably a few more, like the 165-SST's, Ballistic Tips etc. [/QUOTE]
