[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1770344, member: 30902"] Boy I had the exact opposite with the Sirocco's. At high velocity they occasionally did some really weird things including barely penetrating and turning 90deg or better. Years ago shooting the 140 in my first .260 bolt gun I shot a little buck at about 120yds. The shot was a bit low but he dropped like a rock. Curiously I found no exit wound. When I opened him up I found that the bullet had deflected off of the top of his sternum and was loged, flattened out the size of a fifty cent piece in his spine. I had two fail completely in Africa on a Blue Wildebeast and Warthog. The first making a perfect entry in the crease between the neck and shoulder, turning and shooting out of the top of the shoulder between it and the spine, the second flattening out like a knife blade and making a 90deg turn. I shot the rest up when I got home at coyotes and haven't messed with them since. [/QUOTE]
