[QUOTE="the444shooter, post: 1281009, member: 46"] Wildrose, you and I are saying the same thing. They expanded FLAT, and didn't fold backwards. I had several friends stop using the Sciroccos because they didn't fully penetrate on animals like they expected. It was speculated that the bullets were definitely expanding, but expanding to the point that they looked more like a coin, or pancake, or whatever flat, round object you want to compare it to, and had such large frontal area (and minimal shank leftover) that they weren't being driven deeper. Then I shot a 2yo Mule Deer buck in the neck as he was facing me, and was able to recover the bullet. It had been mashed flat, (like a pancake) with no jacket separation. I even spoke with the developer of the bullet about this, and he said they tried to remedy that with the Scirocco II. If you look at schematics of the Accubond, Interbond, and Scirocco, you'll see that the Scrirocco has a much thicker jacket than the other two. [/QUOTE]
