[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 905282, member: 30902"] There are a lot of good choices. Personally under 600yds I think the Hornady Interlock and Interbond are impossible to beat on heavy, thick bodied critters. Beyond that range the Hornady SST is a very good choice and the Nosler Accubond is a bullet I've had perform well for me on several dozen critters. The Swift Sicrocco II in 180gr has performed extremely well for me from 100yds to 900yds on a dozen deer and big hogs but I've got less experience with it than the rest. At close range the Sicoccos will do some wierd stuff. I haven't had any blow up but I have had them flatten out completely and go flipping off literally on a tangent through the chest cavity instead of passing through or following a logical path. The four deer I've shot with them never took a step. The one really big boar I shot with them was shot at 920yds if I remember right and the shot entered the first shoulder, passed through the spine, through the off shoulder and was buried up between the shield and skin. I couldn't ask for better performance. The SST can be pretty explosive at under 300yds with 300wm velocities even if you don't strike the shoulder or leg bones. It will kill the hell out of them but you can waste a great deal of meat in doing so. Of the interlock and interbonds that I've taken game with the performance has always been excellent. The only time I've ever failed to get a complete pass through with them was on straight on squared up chest shots in which case I've always found the bullet somewhere close to the pelvis, again, even on large hogs. At 600yds plus, it's very hard to beat the performance of the SST's and Siroccos and both have very sound ballistic profiles. Pick any of the above and put together a load that you can shoot well and you'll be in good shape. [/QUOTE]
