Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Is anyone have the Swift Reloading Book?

One of my friends wanted me to load a 388, 210 black tip bullet for him in his 338 Rum. I was told it had a BC of 507? I might buy the book if the web site had told me if the book had loads listed for the 338 RUM. Thanks for the Help.

affirmative on 338 RUM data.

negative on 210gr bullets in manual #1. (225,250,275 swifts listed)

I'd start with some good 225 data and work up from near max 225 data. Reason being the swift scirrocco has a rep for being kind of a long "sticky" bullet. Here's from the nosler site on 225 accubonds.

Lefty, could you give a couple Loads of the hotter listed loads for the 225 so I could have a starting point to work up a load. At Least the bullets would have the same compound make up. I sure apperciate the help
