Do you guys think a 7mm 150 grain scirocco will hold up to the speeds of a 28 nosler? ( 3250-3400)
How much speed can a scirocco handle?

I think they would. I use to shoot the 180's in my 300rum at 3400fps I only ever shot deer with them but they are a great bullet. I think they are the toughest bonded bullet there is.

I really like the scirocco bullet and I'm wanting to shoot a light and fast bullet in my backpacking gun.
They handle 7RUM speeds just fine!

What load combo if you don't mind me asking? These are what I have for mine just looking to expand options
It was 99 grains of retumbo with fed 215 and Remington brass

This gives me hope, thank you guys. I've got two 28's and my second one is a light weight packing rifle. The other one is a big 195 slinging elk machine.
Yes easily. Load shoot ant report results please.

Retumbo is what I was going to use next. Ive seen this combo along with 98gr and 97gr too all 3400 and north. Seems to be a devastating load. Thanks.
Yep. Just keep them behind the shoulder, or you'll be buying a new cape

The scirocco was built to smash bone! Saves a ton on taxidermy bills lol

My 7RUM liked the 150 gr. Scirocco's at 3542 fps, driven by about 96 gr. of Re-25. And they worked perfectly on elk.

Was thinking of getting rid of my Re-25 but thinking now I may hold onto it and use in my 7rum with the sciroccos

What kind of grouping are you getting? I could see a fast scirocco being a little wild between 100-400 yards and then really coming together.
