.224 75 grain scirocco - 22 creed velocities

[270quest]

Anyone played around with this bullet in say anything 2900 FPS and faster? Got me a bit intrigued in the 22 creed as its a sleeker higher bc bullet but also bonded - if that matters at all? If say that bullet and a 77 TMK bullet were launched at nearly similar velocities and hit a deer or antelope and nearly similar impact velocities - wondering the difference between the two?

@Formidilosus any experience on the swift?

I have read online they can be finicky to find a good load - but most of what I read was with larger caliber bullets/cartridges/loads.

I can only speak to my experience with the 75 grain swift scirocco in a 22-250AI at 3400 fps. And primarily on large’ish pigs (200# or so). They kill but blood trails are difficult and I’ve not had a single one drop with shoulder hits out to 300 yards or so.

I have no on game experience using the TMK yet.

Sciroccos generally are a bit picky to get shooting, but as far as high weight retention bullets go, the Scirocco is probably the one I would choose as they tend to open a bit wider than others. Compared to heavy ELD-M’s and especially TMK’s, they produce narrower wounds.
