Re: 75 grain swift seirocco
You're right on the edge of the bullet being too long. The bullet will probably be the same profile as the A-max. I would think the tip would be too long on this bullet as well for feeding from the mag.

Re: 75 grain swift seirocco
The HP bullets you should be ok, since they are not as long. The polymer tip is what's making it too long. The 70 should be ok, but the 75 is a maybe. They are a VLD design, so the bullet is long and pointed, with the ogive further back.

Re: 75 grain swift seirocco
I just ordered 100 70g VLD's and 75g VLD's
I will let yall know if they will work.
the Swift Serocco's would had been great the retain 80% of there weight on impact. Good for hunting and target with a high BC.
Too bad.

Re: 75 grain swift seirocco
The Scirocco has a fairly short ogive.
I haven't loaded them firsthand, but have been advised by others who have that you can load them to 2.26" oal without putting the ogive in the case neck.

Re: 75 grain swift seirocco
MontanaMarine is correct, the ogive of the 75 Scirocco II is 0.5 inch and these nice bullets can easily be loaded to magazine length. The beauring surface is rather long and the boat tail is very short. This bullets stick into the case quite a bit but it's a very nice hunting bullet with a high BC. I like it a lot.
The 75 Hornady A-Max has a much longer ogive.

Re: 75 grain swift seirocco
I don't have any Magpul mags, but since you can seat the bullet to 2.260 like M193 and M855 that should not be an issue. BTW, these bullets are fairly expensive, more than twice the price of my match bullets, but these are superb hunting bullets, they get to work once they reach the target whereas my match bullets have done their job just punching the paper.
