[QUOTE="John Burns, post: 11212, member: 2164"] I have shot a lot of both the Scirocco and the XBT in the 7mm STW and I prefer the Scirocco. This is based on seeing over 15 bulls in the past 2 years shot with both bullets (in 7mm STWs) at ranges from 200 to 800 yds. The Scirocco will not penetrate as deeply but makes a larger wound channel and I get more slap for lack of a better word with the Sciroccos. Most of the game we shoot for the show is broadside and there is plenty of penetration for any reasonable shot. Because the game you are listing is significantly smaller than elk I bet you won’t have any problem with penetration. The real answer is what ever you want to use because I have a hard time believing you will ever lose an animal to either bullet because they are both very good. X bullets trade some wound channel diameter for length and Sciroccos trade some length for diameter. [/QUOTE]
