The original Scirocco bullets were, IMHO, too soft and expanded too much. The Scirocco II bullets seem to be better in this regard with more controlled expansion but accurate loads have been more difficult to find than with other bullets. While I still use them in my 6.5-06AI, I'm using them up and will likely go to a AB, LRAB or Barnes TTSX or LRX.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
