[QUOTE="Brent, post: 25999, member: 99"] I'm shooting 180 Sciroccos at 3250 with 93.5gr RL25 and 178 A-Max's at 3300 with 94gr. Both are about .75 moa average at 200 yards with the nod going to the A-Max for better consistancy. I will say the Scirocco hit the steel plates with noticably more athority than the Nosler Ballistic Tips judging by the dents and divits they made. The Scirocco did very well out to 1000 yards as did the Ballistic Silvertip, both had the same trajectory too, the Ballistic tip shot to a different point at 100 yards so it was way off at even 500 yards. The Ballistic Tips didn't do near as well as the others. I would use a 178 A-Max past 400 yards and nothing less than the Scirocco up closer, moose are very underestimated at times too. Stick em high in the lungs and they don't like that much, once they fill up with blood they don't get much oxygen to the brain either. I'm in the camp that'll take a nice pass through shot for a better blood trail... because it's often needed even with a superb shot. My 416wby has a 3 for 3 instant KO record, so diameter plays a part too. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] The part that sucks is when they run the wrong way you want them to though. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] In this case I can see how a well placed spotter round would work to ones advantage if the follow up shot came quick. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
