[QUOTE="Chopperguy, post: 1233354, member: 48608"] Never had any of those issues with the Sirocco II bullets. The original ones were reported to have some over expansion issues. The 2nd version is well bonded, has a high BC and shoots exactly the same as my 130 VLD Hunting loads. I have several recovered bullets from game shots that showed excellent controlled expansion and 85% weight retention. All were recovered from under the off side hide. Ranges on the killing shots from 70 to 487 yards. The 140 Sirocco IIs are a bit too tough for smaller pronghorn sized animals. I've witnesses others using them in a 6.5 and had little expansion and compete pass through on that she game. YMMV, however I'll not hesitate to use them on deer sized game at any time. [/QUOTE]
