The .270 still doesnt impress me. My expierence has shown me the .243 will out penetrate the .270 90% of the time.Seen another deer killed this weekend with the .270, perfect broadside shot and didnt pass through, last weekend same thing but was shot with a .270 wsm. Dont care about gel tests or anythin else, it seems like the .270 rarely passes through deer, thats what I have seen.
I have shot deer and hogs out to 250 yds with my .243, it always blows right through anything in its way, neck bone or shoulder bone, spine or whatever.
.243 doesnt have any problems at any angles
Would you mind telling us what kinda bullet you were using, compared to what kinda bullet the .270's were using?

There is more to the story that you are not telling us. I have killed more than 75 deer with a 270, and my son has killed 10 with his 270. I have never had a problem with bullets passing through deer or hogs, so what is the rest of this story?
