[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 864946, member: 2693"] Do yourself a favor if you have time before the hunt. Buy 4 boxes of Swift Scirocco 180 grain bullets and load test them with H1000 and Re22 or Re25. They are a picky bullet but are the first bonded plastic tipped decent BC bullet on the market and they flat out work at short and long range. Loading can be frustrating because of the pure copper jacket but once you find the sweet spot it is Heaven. I've killed black bears over 200-250 pounds at bait range and blew through both shoulders with my 30.06/180 Sciroccos, whereas my 338WM 225 grain accubonds wouldn't even pass through on a lung shot at 12 yards on my largest bear. I've used the 180 Scirocco in my 30.06 and 300 RUM and love them. If Swift would just cut some grooves in them just like Barnes did with the TSX, etc., they'd have a darn near perfect do-all bullet for most game in NA. [/QUOTE]
