[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1131975, member: 30902"] I agree. The craziest I've seen was the Blue wildebeest shot with the 180Gr 300wm and a small cull white tailed buck shot with the .260. I shot a bit low on the deer at 110yds with the 260 Rem. That bullet grazed off of the sternum and shot straight up destroying the heart and both lungs then the spine right between the shoulders. The bullet did not exit and was about 1.75" diameter. The Wildebeest was shot at around 300yds quartering away from me but with his head turned looking stright at me. I put it dead center in the crease of his neck/shoulder right at the top edge of the bottom 1/3 elevation wise. I saw the bullet strike perfectly and he flipped up like he was just going to rear up and fll over dead but instead turned and ran about 150yds, crashed, got up, did it again, crashed, got up and crashed again about 70yds later. Now the guys in the truck who were watching through bino's though I'd hit him high on the shoulder and that we were just screwed since it was nearly dark and they figured he'd run for miles before dying if then. Well what it turned out was that the bullet hit perfectly but right at the tip of the sternum and somehow managed to then take out the top of the heart and left lung and exit through the left shoulder up high. Crazy! That was the second shot in a row in which the siroccoII had done things it just never should have and they told me "no more" as in no more game to be shot with that bullet on the trip and I agreed.
