Default RE: swift scirroco

Keith, I don't have any recipes yet. The dies came in this week but I forgot to order the shell hoder (my Lee dies come with shell holders). My accuracy comparisons come from store bought factory loaded ammo. As far as damage to the meat goes, I shoot close deer in the neck. Last year I shot a 90 lbs doe in the neck at 15 yards. I don't think any bullet could have caused less damage. The exit wound was not much bigger than the entry wound. The doe didn't take one step. The increased accuracy lets me take the long shots that I enjoy. This year I shot a nine point at close to 400 yards with a 180 gn scirroco. I shot him in the shoulder and meat loss wasn't too bad. I'm gonna give the Nosler ballistic tips a try as soon as a get the shell holder.
