I went ahead and bought several boxes of the 130 grain. Talk to a guy that has the same CVA Optima Elite interchangeable barrel system with a .270 that said what he had got to perform the best out of his was REM CORE-LOKT 130 grain. A little cheaper too. Thanks for all the input and suggestions. I never questioned the ability of a 130 grain bullet dropping a deer...I was just questioning the performance. Thanks for your answers as I will always be trying to learn.
Do still wander what you all think about my wife shooting the .270. She is 5'7" and weighs 120-125. I suppose one way of finding out is to just put her behind it and let her pull the trigger!
