Default RE: Scirocco vs. SST vs. Ballistic Tip

Power, I got some 150 Gr. Scirocco's last night for the 7 Mag, stopped at the range this afternoon and my groups went over 2" larger like now. I fired 15 shots, I also had 4 flyers out of 15, best 3 shot group was in that 2 1/2 range. I have some parts that fly in the 2" range, i can't seeing not using them with re: to Scirocco's. These were hand loads and the same guy that did me a batch of SST's...they are dailed in under a 1".

I am going to try some 154gr interlock to see what they will shoot, any thoughts on this for them deer as a pill? I have to admit this is kind of fun...wife doesn't seem to mind me blowing extra shells...so got to strike when the irons hot...LOL. I brought up how much cheaper, etc it would be if I got back into reloading....just not yet 9seems i have spent my yearly limit), i'll keep working it.

At this point I may just try the SST, my gun likes them and stacks them so nice I almost have to try.

Stubblejumper, have you ever used SST? I know you posted about the review, but any experiences you have or heard of with this bullet... for WT deer here Sask and we have similar shot ranges. (You also hunt here in the fall so you have a good idea about the size of animals, etc.) thanks.


Power hope your dose will yield you better results, let us know.
