Default RE: 7mm Ultra mag, need help

Update, my friend after doing some research has decided to pass on reloading for me. He is fairly new to reloading centerfires and with the lack of published data does not feel comfortable. So I'm back to factory rounds. On sunday I shot a factory load of Rem 175g swift a-frames. At 100 yards I produced 3 shot group of about 3". They all hit 2" high which is ok, and they strung out left to right above the bulls eye horizontally. So all in all not bad cosidering I have not done alot of bench shooting. At 200yardsmy group was about 5", and 300yards I was low about 5" and sprayed them bottom right. I just discovered Remington offers a 150grain Swift Scirocoo for the 7mm RUM. I have not seen any on the shelves, but how would this bullet perform on Elk? I know I need more range time, and plan to do so untill I leave Oct 18. At $45/box it kinda hurts though! Thanks
