[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1040528, member: 30902"] The funniest thing I've ever seen with a Sirocco was on a buck I shot a few years ago at about 70yds. The bullet flattened out to about the size of a half dollar and never exited but it absolutely wrecked that poor buck's innards. Everything in the chest cavity simply turned to goo. There was an exit wound but it turned out that it was just where a good chunk of rib on the offside shattered and blew out a hole around an inch or so. I've had very good luck with the Scirocco II in 7mm STW, 300wm, and 300Rum on thirty plus deer and a few dozen hogs including one that was over 800lbs. My first example is the only animal I've shot with them that did not give me a nice clean through and through and that was the only bullet I ever recovered except for one of the 300wm's from this year which was a straight on chest shot and I found the bullet perfectly mushroomed in his right hip. My one disappointment in that bullet is the fact they won't make a 165-175gr 7mm and won't make a 190-210gr 30 cal. No matter how many times you talk to them they politely say no to expanding the line. [/QUOTE]
