[QUOTE="Delta Hunter, post: 99364, member: 441"] With the original Scirocco I have experienced the "pancake" effect shooting whitetail deer with my .300 Weatherby. I'm not going to categorize the results as failures, but this is the first bullet I've used in about 25 years that did not exit on a whitetail deer shot in the ribs while standing broadside. In one instance the Scirocco flattened out almost completely and instead of penetrating in a straight path and exiting, it took a hard left turn and ended up destroying most of the right shoulder before lodging itself therein. I don't call it a failure, though, because the deer didn't go far, but I do prefer a bullet that gives a more predictable wound channel and complete penetration. I'll probably give the new ones a try and see if they really have been improved. [/QUOTE]
