experience with the swift 150 gn 7mm scirocco bullet?
what would be its optimum use - game and striking velocity?
will it open fast on smaller game yet hold together on bigger game?
how can it be compared terminally with the swift aframe.
pleas no theories or promotional quotes, just experience.
I am looking at 2 guns, one with a mv of 2900 and the other 3300.
uses would be for medium to bigger deer sized game.
what else might be in the same class?
bruce.

I haven’t used the 150 .284 bullet but have used the 210 .338 quite a bit at velocities in the 3000 FPS range. First experience was with the original Scirocco and it failed miserably! Bullet came apart and resulted in a lost oryx. At the urging of Swift, I tried the S II and it performs well. Especially good on muledeer sized game, I have only recovered two bullets and both were expanded perfectly textbook with around 85% weight retention. I have shot one coues deer with a 30 cal S II and it passed through without violent destruction on the far side. Inside the deer was pure gel. I wouldn’t hesitate to hunt up to elk sized game with them at all.
Just off of the limited number I have recovered they appear to lose about 10% if not a little more than the A-Frame typically does.
