Well I'm back. I got you pm jackelope (thank you). I'll try and get those pictures up this evening. |

OK think we all like the gun, who likes the new X mark pro trigger they have on them now? I am not impressed It has been out and adjusted still way to heavy. I don't like a light trigger but but I still cant get used to it. I have a new trigger on the way should be here in a few days. I hope I just got a bum setup out of the box any one else have any problems? |

Actually the BC for a 150gr .284 cal Scirocco is higher at 0.533 than the BC for a 175gr A-frame .284 cal at 0.493. The A-frame sighted in 2.4" high at 100 yards will be 32.2" low at 500 yards where a 1.8" high sight in at 100 yards for the 150gr scirocco will leave you only 25.3" low at 500 yards. And this is all with factory loads from Remington. When loaded with a 175gr bullet for the 7mm Ultra, you would be better off with a standard 300 win with 180gr bullets. Either bullet will more than do the job for virtually any hooved animal in the US, but if you really want to take advantage of the 7mm Ultra, the 150gr Scirocco is where it's at. |

I still haven't had a chance to shoot either the scirocco or the A-Frame. Went to go shooting tonight but didn't get out til late and my buddy had to put a new scope on his 300 wby (dropped gun, broken scope :'(). He's leaving for Canada on Sunday to go moose hunting so getting his gun sighted back in was top priority. I'm going to try and shoot tomorrow. Goldtip, looks like you got your ballistics off the remington site. While it's pretty easy to assume that the 150 sciroccos will shoot flatter than the 175 A-Frame, it also says that the 150 has more energy. Even out to 500 yards. Does that sound weird to anyone??? I would have thought the 175's would pack more punch :dunno: |
