    Probably silly considering I have used the same cheap hornady ones for years and they worked brilliantly.

    Ha Ha you are not wrong. Gota question my common sense when I have up until recently, used a projectile that has cost me around 20 cents and worked without fault for 20 yrs.
    I was sold on the scirocco when I shot them to 550yrds well under MOA My usual hornady faithfuls would struggle to reach that far

    So theres an argument for using them at longer ranges and for the rest just use the Hornies ....

    If they had the same zero yes but these ones zero differently in my rifle. First ones to do so that I have tried. I will just use the sciroccos for everything big and I have bulk hornady bullets for everything small, inside 300yrds, just have to adjust my scope a bit.
    In real world scenarios, I probably do not need the sciroccos but I would be more confident of making a body shot on larger game with them, if I ever had too. They are very accurate out to 550 (as far as I have tried them) in good conditions as well.
