No not listened to Taylor Swift but loaded Swift bullets outta Kansas? I pushed some .44 magnums for 24 shots according to the Dave notebook using AA#9 but never could recover an A frame for review. I'd think the polymer tip Scirocco would be the trick for .223/.243 and those A frames for ya know manly calibers like .270/.280 heck even the boomers like .338 &.340
Only hits count.

The last elk I killed I shot with a 200 grain Swift A-frame from a 300 RUM. Very tuff bullet with very little expansion. Passed through just behind both shoulders. It killed the bull but I wasn’t pleased with the performance of that bullet. I’ve shot the sciroccos 180 grain that performed flawlessly on deer

I think they can be very finicky about accuracy. I've fiddled with them a little but have not found the secret to their accuracy. Also, they tend to develop higher pressures so start low on your loads.

I tried some 165 SS2 in my 30.06 and just couldn’t get them to group no matter what I tried. After nearly 2 boxes I gave up and tried Barnes. Never looked back
