[QUOTE="richhymas, post: 2432347, member: 43504"] If you are looking for an exit and are hunting inside 600 yards I have been thrilled with Scirocco II bullets. Great mushroom and excellent weight retention. Bullets almost always exit. I have recovered one from a bear shot at 50 yards went lengthwise and found under the far hide. Retained 70%. Shot an Aoudad at 470 yards. Missed the wind call and Broke the hip, still found the bullet under the far hide with 90% weight retention and perfect mushroom. Remaining hits on that aoudad exited. My 16 year old son Also shot a deer at 600 yards. Again missed the wind call and the first shot was back and broke the hip. Second shot in the crease. Both bullets exited there and quick kill on the deer. They flat out perform the way you would expect a bullet to perform. Good mushroom, good weight retention, and good straight penetration. They usually exit both close and at distance. Nosler partitions and swift A-frames should perform similarly. None of these will have the BC for 1000 yard shots but out of a 6.5 PRC you will probably get a solid 800 yards before the bullet drops below 1800 FPS. [/QUOTE]
