I was sold on the scirocco when I shot them to 550yrds well under MOA My usual hornady bullets would struggle to reach that far

So theres an argument for using them at longer ranges and for the rest just use the Hornies ....

If they had the same zero yes but these ones zero differently in my rifle. First ones to do so that I have tried. I will just use the sciroccos for everything big and I have bulk hornady bullets for everything small, inside 300yrds, just have to adjust my scope a bit.
In real world scenarios, I probably do not need the sciroccos but I would be more confident of making a body shot on larger game with them, if I ever had too. They are very accurate out to 550 (as far as I have tried them) in good conditions as well.

I've got the same deal shooting different projectiles out of the same rifle.

I zero for the load i use often, and for other loads that require a different zero I record the Adjustments relative to that.

My 223 for example, is zeroed at 150 yards for 40gn vmax.
to zero for Hornady 53gn at 150yds, I recorded in my little black book I have to move the dials 4 clicks up and 4 left.

Seems to work.

Yup. Good scope no problems. I sometimes forget where I am at between uses lol.
I use the recording function on my phone now to keep track. Seems to work if I remember to check it ha ha

Barnes Premium Grade, New World, $25.99...oh my goodness me...no shucking grit in these ones...beautiful...oh damn, I shouldn't have eaten the lot in one go...no self control what so ever, oh well

yeah , we scoffed our first Doz last night. Still little grey gobs of awesome ....
@M_Terabyte had his share too ... why cant he be more like his sister and mother and not like them ....

Oh no, you know what that will mean in the years to come...cost you a fortune to buy for the both of you...

First half doz today at George's in Fankton Hamilton, along with a pint of their stout, very nice, but expensive!

Haven't had any yet but the old man took great delight in telling me he had eaten a couple of doz at 26 bloody dollars a dozen!

I debated about the dollars$24.00 half doz served up, son paid, no problem! real nice, will get some more from the supy

I don't know if oysters and blue cheese are a proven combination, but these were quite nice together. Made me feel quite sophisticated.

Fantastic. I can see how that would work.

Geez its tough living down here, we're only allowed 50 per person when we nip out for a bit of blue cod fishing in the straight.
