Funnily enough, I never shot an elk with the 180 grain Scirocco and my 300 WSM. I did, however, bring home a good number of mule deer and whitetails with those bullets. The Scirocco is a fine bullet that will definitely get the job done on big bodied game.
Delightful, and thought-provoking assessment of hunting/shooting, Guy. I enjoy working with a variety of cartridges and rifles, and this predilection has been permitted through my opportunity to work with a great custom rifle maker here in my home territory.
