I was shooting factory Winchester 150gr. Power Points a chronographed 3200fps. in my 24" Remington. Worked will at longer ranges like 300yds. But at 85yds it blew up on front shoulder. Don't get me wrong it killed the deer also killed the front shoulder. 3" entrance and no exit. Vitals was like a gernade exploded. All I saying is do not hit any major bone with a standard cup core bullet with the 270wsm velocities if you want to eat any meat where you hit. I worked up a load with the Nosler 140gr. Accubond using Accurate Arms MagPro and was able to obtain an 1/2" group at 100yds. This is what I am going to be using for deer and elk.
