[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1549436, member: 30902"] Fair enough and I've heard them too. More often than not what my experience shows is that they chose the wrong bullet for the application or point of aim rather than the bullet failing to perform as designed or they flat out made a poor shot to start with. If a bullet that is designed to expand fails to do so it's usually because of that and occasionally but rarely due to a manufacturing defect. From what i've seen the rarest of all failures with either the mono's or bonded bullets are those in which there was a manufacturing defect. The one exception to that I think is the Sirocco's because they seem to be very inconsistent which leads me to believe it's a problem with the consistency of their jacket material and lead alloys. One batch will perform great when the next is soo soft that they will flatten out like they've been hit perfectly with a large hammer flattening them out like a half dollar. I think that is a real shame because they refuse to listen to customer feedback and keep turning out the same product year after year. Hornady to their credit as well as Berger are both companies that are very responsive to customer feedback as is Peregrine. I won't shoot frangible bullets at game anymore so whenever I can I"ll stick with Peregrine Mono's and Hornady Interbonds. Every time I pull the trigger with them I know what the results will be.
