I picked up some of these to try in my 338 Win mag and was wondering if anyone else has used them and what they think of them for use on game?

Good on game, but not as accurate as Accubond.

I suggest you try them and decide for yourself.

I can tell you I am a big fan of the Scirocco. I just got back from Namibia on a cull trip and shot 61 wildebeest/gemsbok. I used and cataloged 7 different bullets. All of the bullets killed the game, but some did it better than others. The Scirocco came out ahead. 15 animals shot and 15 pass thrus with the highest rate of terminal shock. A frame 16 pass thrus but less terminal shock and longer dying run. Norma Oryx had 10 complete pass thrus on gemsbok and did a great job. Nosler Partition also worked well but did not have the terminal shock that the Scirocco had. Woodleigh killed 3 wildes but not impressed. I was using the 240 Woodleigh and don't think I generated enough speed to get max expansion. Sierra/Speer also killed but did not exit and had cup/core separation. The PH was also impressed with the Scirocco. It penetrated at all angles, exited every time, made soup of the lungs and several dropped in their tracks. Accuracy was great. 30-06, 180 grain Scirocco II, RL16 powder, 1/2 inch group at 100 yards.

Thanks jmm01 that was what I was looking for.
