My BAR in .270win loves federal 130gr, the cheap ones, blue box...cloverleafs'em...

I'd give those a try at the very least...

Ballistically which is better? I believe core-lokts tend to have a low BC, so down range they'll be slowing down faster and losing more energy more quickly...than say a more streamlined premium bullet such as a accubond...

on deer, any bullet from a .270 130-150 I'd say would do a good job, talking bigger game such as elk, I'd want a premium bullet, such as a nosler partition, etc...and more than likely in 150grs...or TSX, though I think a quality constructed bullet is more important than whether its 130,140, or 150...as in I'd rather have a 130gr TSX, than a 150 ballistic tip for elk...
