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.
You didn't know that if you shot a deer with a "MAGNUM" there would be some meat loss? If you want a magnum that will shoot out to 500 or 600 yds that is the price you pay. I have meat loss with all my mag's so i carry a handgun.
If you want a pass through shot spend the EXTRA money on premium bullet's. If you could careless about pass through's save your money for buying more bullet's and get the Sierra Gameking's. Good enough for any deer that walk's and great price.
