Theres a good article in Octs Shooting Times comparing 17 30 cal 180 gr bullets including the Scirocco.They were fired into animal glue material at 3000fps and 2000fps,and wt. retention,expansion,penetration,and "wound" channel cavities are all charted.At the lower velocities all of the bullets retained at least 85% of there wt. with the Scirocco retaining 98%,the Partition 95%.At the higher velocities the Swift A Frame took first with 91% and the Scirocco at 68%, the same as the Nosler Partition.While it may not be the final word its one of the more illuminating test data I'v seen.And it still comes down to the last sentence of the article,"Whichever bullet you choose,remember that when it comes to killing power, that shot placement is the biggest variable of all".If you can't find a copy I'll post the charts,might do it anyway, its sure to rile a few.:)
