[QUOTE="woods, post: 495748, member: 6042"] I have yet to shoot anything with the Scirrocco. Last year it worked out that I used my 280AI much more (SS - rainy weather kind of thing). The only game I have shot with the 6.5 was a cull buck a couple of years ago and that was with the 140 gr Sierra Game King [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/targets92808001.jpg[/IMG] was not totally happy with the performance even though it did not fail. It did not exit on a behind the shoulder 70 yard shot and the buck ran about 50 yards. 50 yards in South Texas brush without a blood trail can mean a long search. My COAL is 3.10" and seating it .30" deeper will come close to hitting on the beginning of the ogive [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/BULLETS/Picture018.jpg[/IMG] The SGK's I mentioned were very accurate and at your yardages would definitely kill a smaller deer. They are not as pointed and you will not seat into the ogive on one of those. [/QUOTE]
