Default RE: Load for .270 Win

Yep. Only casewith regards to the 130/.277 that didn't exit was a flush shoulder shot 100 yards or so. In that case the bullet smashed the entrance shoulder, the bullet and bone frags took out the lungs but pentration was pretty much halted inside the scapula. That was a good sized wt buck, I don't weigh them here to often but I don't think he'd of had to much trouble tipping the 300lb mark on the hoof. Behind the shoulder no problems at all.

I have heard all the internet talk and weighed in on many of those debates as I just haven't found it to be the case in my experience with regards to the BT, stillmy favorite deer bullet and there are some pretty good choices today. I think what happens is many don't understand the design of the BT and/or blame the bullet vs the shooter. Or are basing there opinions on the old NBT that were known to be unpredictable on game. In my case I simply got ansy and pulled on him a little early, shooter failure not nosler. Common sense, pick a bullet that matchs the situation and your much better off.
