"My first trip to Africa "

I am a dedicated hunter and re-loader who believes strongly in your revolutionary Scirocco bullets as well as your time proven A-frame. My history with your Scirocco goes back to the first run of 150gr. 7mm bullets which had to be ordered direct because they weren’t stocked with Midway USA, yet. Since then, your Scirocco bullets have come to top my favorite loads for 6mm/284, 270 WIN, 7mm STW, 300 RUM, and 338 RUM.



My first trip to Africa this year resulted in many superb trophies – all taken with your .416 caliber 400grain A-frame bullet. Many professional outfitters and hunters across South Africa were very impressed with the A-frame performance. Their exposure is typically to Nosler partitions or various solid bullets. The recovered A-frames quickly converted all skeptics!



For years I didn’t keep track of records. I viewed the trophy as each unique hunting experience, and still do. However, with multiple Boone & Crockett, SCI, TGR, and Rowland Ward trophies pending in 2005, it seems appropriate to express my appreciation for your “top shelf” products and commitment to quality control. I am not a wealthy man and my loyalty isn’t easily won. When spending such a high % of gross income on hunting adventures, only the finest products are good enough to earn a consumer’s trust. Enclosed you will find a number of copyrighted photos of the trophies mentioned above. In 2006 my plans also include video footage of several domestic, exotic, and African trophies taken using Swift products. Please review these photos and contact me at your convenience if details of my experience with your products may be useful to other hunters.
