[QUOTE="Joshuak12, post: 1046882, member: 40350"] My groups were nothing special - at or just below MOA. My hunting experiences with the Swift bullets are that they are accurate enough for me to take that high neck shot if it's there, which negates tracking, and when a body shot is called for they provide a nice balance of reliable expansion and solid weight retention. If we were just talking about terminal performance on game the Scirocco is easily my favorite of the bonded, high ballistic coefficient bullets that I've shot. As long as you are not hunting at extreme ranges and you're not doing load work in high temps, then hunting in much colder temps, I think you'll do fine with H414. As has been stated, there are more temperature stable powders available. But my experience says you'll still be able to shoot good groups on a 25 degree day. The groups won't be exactly in the same place they would be on a 70 degree day, but they'll still be good groups. Even a little range work on days of differing temperatures will show you exactly what to expect. I have not seen the Swift manual - what do they list as minimum and maximum loads for H414 with the 150 gr. bullet? [/QUOTE]
