[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1374277, member: 30902"] I've had exactly the opposite experience with them. Never had any trouble in multiple calibers, multiple rifles in each of the calibers, and multiple powders coming up with a decent load. I won't shoot Sirocco's at game anymore though because I found them to be way too soft, frequently over expand and fail to track through game. They are one of my preferred coyote bullets though because they fly so well and run so flat due to their BC's. I did have some issues with the Accubond LR's beyond their inflated BC's in a couple of rifles but I never had a very difficult time coming up with an acceptable load. There's a dozen different ways to work up loads but I've found the shortest route to success to be to simply load everything to mag length work up in one grain increments until I find something promising, then work up/down in half grain increments to get my best accuracy load. If I want to tweak it any further I'll then adjust the seating depth. I can't remember the last time I went through more than 30 rounds to get a good load and if I don't have one by then I'll move on to something else because not every chamber likes every bullet, powder, load, etc. [/QUOTE]
