[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 566319, member: 30902"] We started shooting Barnes bullets back in the seventies looking for something that wouldn't come apart in flight when we pushed our .17 Rem. I have a buddy that was utterly convinced that the Barnes X and Nosler Partitions were the best bullets on the planet till I convinced him to try the hornady's. Take a look here: [URL="http://www.hornady.com/store/6.5mm-.264-129-gr-InterBond/"]Hornady Manufacturing Company :: Bullets :: Rifle :: Choose by Caliber :: .264 6.5mm :: 6.5mm .264 129 gr InterBond®[/URL] 6.5 129gr Details Item Number26209 Ballistic Coefficient.485 Sectional Density.264 Item Number2630 Ballistic Coefficient 0.465 Sectional Density0.287 [URL="http://www.hornady.com/store/6.5mm-.264-140-gr-SP/"]Hornady Manufacturing Company :: Bullets :: Rifle :: Choose by Caliber :: .264 6.5mm :: 6.5mm .264 140gr InterLock® SP[/URL] Swift Scirocco [B]Caliber[/B] 6.5mm/.264 [B]Sectional Density[/B] .265 [B]Ballistic Coefficient[/B] .571 I've got limited experience with the Sciroccos but I have found over the years and hundreds of Deer and Big Hogs, that the Hornady's provide great performance, consistent expansion across the range of velocities and even on the biggest boars never had one break up. I think the worst I've seen was a loss of perhaps 30% of the bullet mass and that was going through both shields and both shoulders. In my Rum though I'm getting right at .6 MOA at 1080 with the sciroccos however and I expect they'll perform similarly in the .260. I sure hope so. I'll be shooting the 6.5 siroccos for the next few months and I'll be more than willing to share the results with you. Good luck on the future endeavors. [/QUOTE]
