Fiocchi Extrema 6.5 Creedmoor Jacketed Hollow Point

First off, I cannot...

First off, I cannot say enough about Bud's that hasn't already been said.... Fantastic on all levels. However, I would like to comment on the Scirocco ii, which in the Fiocchi cartridge has one of the highest velocities of Scirocco loads. Thumbs up to Fiocchi and also the std dev of velocity is lowest in Fiocchi - 3 to 5 feet std dev out of my Sako 90 Adventure 6.5 Creedmoor. But here is the FYI.... Swift states that Scirocco ii does prefer a bit of seating space; however many commenters on blogs say that the Scirocco ii is finicky to seating depths. So..... I do not hand load so I cannot comment on the intricacies, though I found that the Scirocco ii is a pure copper jacket is similar to a Barnes pure copper bullets, and is subject to the same accuracy issue if shooting Scirocco bullets after shooting lead copper gliding metal jacket bullets.... Rather than confuse, please view the following: "Ron Spomer saved my favorite gun!" on Backfire TV I literally shot 5 groups of 5 (3 Fiocchi and 2 Barnes) and the folks at the range in on this discussion witnessed all 5 groups at 0.25 to 0.61 MOA out of a 20" barrel shot off my backpack.... All of those present are avid hand-loaders who continually try to convince of the benefits of handloading, which I am aware of but just do not have the time. Hence my search of factory loads.... Needless to say, all seemed to concur with the results. Do hope this is informative.... John K
