[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 574604, member: 10832"] Where does Swift suggest fps in the 1600's for proper expansion? I have talked to them personally and they have mentioned the 1900+ range. [URL="http://www.swiftbullets.com/scirocco_intro"]Scirocco II - Bullets without equal![/URL] Maybe I have missed a change in their bullet design? And what am I missing, based off the numbers given in your last post you are 1697 fps and 831 ft lbs at 900 yards. I would be at 1608 fps and 804 ft lbs at 1000 yards. So there is 89 fps and 27 ft lbs between responsible and irresponsible? Now that is drawing a line! Past 500 yards A-max bullets don't blow up and often get complete penetration on deer and antelope in 6.5,7mm and 30 cal. I think we are finally getting to the point where I can see why we are so far off on this. You are calling shots at 450 yards and closer long range and I don't call a shot LR until it is past 600 yards. Ya, I wouldn't shoot a magnum gun with A-max's at close range shots. But this is a LR forum right? So there are no threads here about Bergers either blowing up on contact or penciling through animals? Just trying to figure out why those potential issues are ok but not with the A-max. So if my range is off, or there is an unseen updraft or there is a different wind factor you really don't thnk a higher BC bullet will help reduce those errors? Scot E. [/QUOTE]
