Default RE: Disappointed in my ammo

The 130 gran ballistic tip is not really designed for the ultra fast velocities of a 270wsm. It acts more like a varmint bullet than a big game bullet at 3300 fps. and tends to blow up rather than penetrate. It is better suited to velocities below 3000 fps and idealy at about 2700 - 2900 fps at impact.

Try the accubond instead of the ballistic tip. Same exact outsideprofile but with a thicker jacket and bonded core to prevent separation and provide better penetration.

And for the record a broadehad and a bullet don't come any where close to killing an animal in the same way. A broadhead does not transfer energy to the animal at all like a bullet does. A broadhead kills bycausing the animal to hemmorage bu cutting veins and arterieswhere as a bullet kills by hydrostatic shock causing major trauma far beyond just the path of the bullet.A broadhead that does not pass thru the animal does not cut as much tissue, veins and arteriesthere fore reduces the ammount of hemmoraging and prolongs death.A bullet that does not pass thru transfered 100% of its available energy to the animal and destroyed as much tissue as possible. Whena bullet doespass thru they waste a portion of that energy.
