Swift Scirocco Factory 6.5 x 55 ammunition...

[SabreKiller]

Anyone have a box? If so, can you give me the cartridge OAL? thanks!

Have your tried the folks at Swift?

I've thought about it, but thought I would try here first. Sometimes the manufacturers won't give out that information. It's "proprietary" they say.

Wish I could help.

I’m interested in your review of this bullet at 6.5 Swede speed. I shoot the 130gr out of my 6.5-300 Roy and have been very pleased with its performance....but that’s also at screaming speeds.

It's gonna be awhile before I can give a review. It's too darn hot to go to the lease and work over the pigs and sheep. Average velocity with RL-19 is at 2740 if I remember my chrono testing. It should be ok.

I killed a fair amount of critters with this bullet during the past season. I stuck with a load that gave me 2660 fps and I killed several pigs, a fair whitetail buck, 3 feral sheep and 5 or 6 spanish goats. All were shot at ranges of 65 yards to a little over 200 yards. All were complete pass throughs and internal damage was massive. One pig that I shot at 65 yards the exit hole was pretty big and the blood splatter behind it looked like a murder scene. The hog in my avatar was shot at 138 yards, a complete pass through and he ran about 35 yards before piling up.
