AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK 150 Gr. SWIFT SCIROCCO II

[jtallen83]

I shot a box of this ammo out of my 16 inch 1/10 twist Matrix build today with decent results. I fired five round groups, 1 at 100 and 3 at 200 yards, getting 1 1/2 MOA without taking my time. There was no wind but it was 40 degrees and in a downpour so conditions were not optimal. The box claims 2854 fps so it is right there or past M80 ball but with a .430 BC. Looks like it would be a pretty good hunting round. It is a bit pricy at the LGS here, $27 a box, but I picked up another to try again at 300 yards on a fair weather day.

  They do make good Bullets , big $$ , but good long range Bullets . Try to get some Chono results , I would like to see how consistent they are . Velocity will differ from box because of your 16" BBL.

No chrono, it will be some time before I get one. Being out on the road I don't get any reloading time at home and barely have enough room to haul the gear I need to keep shooting while on the road. Someday I'll retire, go whole hog back into reloading, and get a chrono but for now the results on the paper is all I have to judge from.
