I shot quite a few deer with the Sirocco 1s, still shoot them. Impressive kills on deer out of my 7 Mag, but they copper fouled a barrel.

The performance of the scirocco on game was A-1 for me also.
300Rum with 180's and I think my 7RM used 150's.
"A ballistic tip that would give me an exit" is the way I thought of them. Been a while…

Honestly not too big a fan of the accubond. It's alright. I have a completely different experience with SIIs though. Buddy's 7rm has impressed me using them

Understood.
I've gotten in a groove of practicing and playing with BT's, and hunting with AB's.
POI is always tight between the 2. Sometimes the same.
I'm shooting deer and pigs only though, nothing very large.

I shoot the 150 Scirocco II in my 280 Ackley. Consistent 1/2 minute with 55 grains of RL16. Fed 210M. Load at your own risk...
Get 2970 fps with SD's under 10.
Have shot several critters. The last two were cow elk ~200 yards broadside. Bullet exited back side on both. High heart and double lung. Both ran about 50 yards. Initially did not indicate they had been hit. Seem to poke through like a bonded bullet should. I would go to the shoulder if I wasn't trying to minimize meat damage.

When I get back to reno next week I'll let you know how many unopened boxes I have. I think it is at least 3. And yes I would like to sell them off !!!!
I have been a Scirocco fan ever since they came out. I just finished load development with 130gr in my 270Rum.
3575fps. 87.1- H-1000.
I have them for a lot of calibers.
150 in a 280Ai should be fine.

I vividly recall shooting a big sow probably 225lbs, right as the sun started below the trees. She was in a bean field, directly inline with the glow.
The vapor or mist or whatever from the penetration and expansion was large.
That 300RUM was dismantled a few years later.
No brake = no fun when the youth fades
97 or 98grs Retumbo if I recall
