[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1250836, member: 88320"] Myself and friends have killed a good number of deer with sirocco's all with great results, so I don't think your bullet failed. As mentioned early I think what you had happened is the down side to a high retention bullet. From the description the shot was a little low in brisket and either just nicked chest cavity or didn't get in. With no fragmenting (those bullets retain there weight real nicely) bullet didn't get to the vitals. I have has similar situations where the shot wasn't perfect but a fragmenting made up for it, this is why I prefer bullets fragment and retention 40-50 % weight, don't use siroccos' much anymore. Its all speculation, results might have been the same with any bullet. Just an unfortunate situation [/QUOTE]
