[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 89167, member: 2693"] Ok, to you and Bill B.: Are you guys saying that the jacket that is used in Wildcat bullets is the J-4 and it is "inferior" (for a lack of better term), than that of the Sierra MK bullets? I have access to tons of SMK bullets but I thought I'd like to try some Amax bullets when I try the Wildcats in a couple of months. Speaking of these high BC bullets, what do you all think of the Swift Scirocco? A riflesmith I use has one of those Juenke concentricity gauges and stated to me that he was quite shocked at how concentric these factory bullets were. He tried some of the new 224 caliber 75 grainers and got a 0.2 something group from his 22-6mm. He said the accuracy and consistency was surprising since it is a "factory" bullet. I read on John Burns website that he liked those bullets quite well also. How about those? I've only tried 2, the 130 grain in one of my 270 WCFs and the 180 in my 300 RUM. It took awhile but once I got a load for each, they were very good groups--less than 1/2" with several strings of 3. I took a bear with the 180 Scirocco in Alberta at 8 yards with my 30.06 and it passed through and dumped the bear on the spot. I used Re22. I was loading for power/speed instead of accuracy as all of the shots were going to be close. That is the only kill experience I have with the Scirocco. [/QUOTE]
