Default RE: Bullet selection for 270wsm

I have a .270 WSM and use 130 gr Nossler BST. I would not say they are "explosive" at close range but if you heavy hit bone at close range they will expand rapidly and make one heck of a hole. Shot placement is the key, at close range in the vitals the BT bullets still function fine. The accubond is still a BT bullet, supposedly just tougher for heavier skin game, that seems to kill the long range potential of the bullet. The whole point of the BT is to fly accurately long range and expand properly at that longer range with less velocity.
