Just called Swift. They have no G7's for any of their bullets.

according to Applied Ballistics
the swift 130 grain Scirocco has a G7 BC of
.252 @ 1,500 fps
.248 @ 2,000 fps
.252 @ 2,500 fps
.252 @ 3,000 fps

and should work best in a 1:8 twist barrel

Thank You! It works much better in my program to match actual drop. Applied Ballistics is Litz's book I've found out. I appreciate the information.

I was shooting the Scirocco at 1075 yards out of my .264 Win Mag on Sunday, and had to add about 4 minutes to my printed data at that range to make hits. The G1 in BulletFlight is .571 and works well out to about 900, then starts to deviate.
