[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2654339, member: 30902"] Honestly I had the same problem with 3 different SiroccoII's fired in the 300wm, 7mm STW, and 260 Rem. I had never seen a bullet flatten out like that and turn 90 deg or better in my entire life till then. I hit a little WT buck at 200yds with the .260AR running about 2750mv. I shot a tad low right below the heart, the bullet flattened out like a half dollar when it hit the top of the sternum and went spinning up through the heart/lungs and stuck in the spine. We never recovered the bullet from the Blue Wildebeest because it shot out the top of his left shoulder after being put low into the crease as his body was angled slightly away but his head turning towards me. What it did to the Wart Hog is still completely inexplicable, but it looked like someone had run a knife down her length after it contacted the shoulder. My friend/PH took my rifle, dumped the ammo on the ground and said, "Tomorrow we'll get you some ammo with proper bullets, that thing is going to get us killed with these". I haven't shot them since at anything but coyotes and smaller hogs just to burn off my remaining stock. [/QUOTE]
