[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1233321, member: 30902"] The Sirocco is a very soft bullet and I and others have had it do some really weird things with over expansion at high velocity. I shot a white tail buck a few years back with my 260 and the 130gr Sirocco at just over 100yds. Hit him just above the sternum (a bit low) and it flattened out to about a half dollar size flipping up through the heart/lung area and burying in the spine. Shooting them from the 300wm in Africa I had them make some other near 90 deg turns. I much prefer the Hornady Interbond or Nosler Accubond for terminal performance although I love the way the Sirocco's fly. I'm going to give the ELD-X and Perigrine VRG-4's a workout this year.
