Swift Scirocco Help!

dairycreek · March 27, 2002, 08:30 PM

I am handloading for a 300 Weatherby and really interested in the 180 Swift Scirocco but information on this load is hard to find. Any suggestions about loads for this combo? Good shooting

Swift has now put out their own loading manual.

I've had good luck with this bullet in my .300 Weatherby Sako. My favorite load is 84 grains of IMR 7828, Norma brass and Fed 215M primers. I have tried different overall lengths and get good results with just about any, but the best for me has been an OAL of 3.56".

Start at about 80 grains and work up. Scirocco's tend to increase pressure, so be extra careful.
