I need some help finding load data for a 210 gr Swift Scirocco bullet for my .338. Swift has not included this info on its website and they have not come out with a new edition to their reloading manual to include the new bullets they have brought out. If any body has some information about this bullet please reply.
Thanks

I checked loaddata .com and the 210 gr they listed was a Nosler IMR 7828/75.0 =2790 fps. A reference point? I shoot a 338 and find that with lighter bullets ie: 200 speer sp I can not get very close to the lands when seated properly. the bullet is to short.

My Modern Reloading, 2nd Edition by Richard Lee has loads for a 210 gr jacketed bullet (does not designate the manufacturer) for the .338 Winchester Magnum. It has 12 different powders listed. I don't want to type that much, so I will give a few.
Good luck and hope this helps. You might want to get a copy of this manual. It can be had for about $10. Just a note, but Load 1 achieves the highest velocity and at about 4000 psi less than Load 3.
Disclaimer: I double checked each of these, but anyone who tries these loads assumes all of the risk for doing so.
