[QUOTE="M Rosslee, post: 1193965, member: 94998"] Sirocco is an awesome bullet, but in South Africa it is grossly overpriced and not a viable option for an every-weekend shooter and range guy. Just to develop the load would cost a small fortune (a bit dramatic but you get my drift). I'm very chuffed with the Sierra Gameking and its killing capabilities as well as its terminal ballistic performance and energy transfer (it hits like a bus). I have a bad habit (if we're admitting) of shooting game in the thick stuff (ON THE SHOULDER) and breaking the foreleg or shoulder to debilitate to the extreme and I shoot low in the box to cause heart/circulatory trauma... A lot of our game animals are poor bleeders and it makes tracking spoor a nightmare on hard ground if there isn't any blood (doesn't allow hoof imprints in the soil). [/QUOTE]
