Thanks for all of the advice. Actually, on the hollow point bullets for the 44, I listed them wrong, they are JHC, or jacketed hollow cast bullets. I think that I will just use the Winchester Platinum tips. They are designed for large game. I suppose that a Core Lokt bullet would break up too fast out of the .270 too?
RE: the Remington Corelokt bullet. These are "controlled expansion" bullets, designed to hold together. They may not be as tough as some of the premiums that cost twice as much, but IMO they are NOT as prone to blowing up as the ballistic Tip. If you want a Remington bullet that will definitely hold together, get the new bonded-core Corelokts. I'll bet there is one being loaded in .270 Win. ammo. ChecK the Remington web site..... looks like a good bullet for bigger game than deer.....
