Default Round

Not very familiar with the .270 as a round but here's my $.02...

Try a lighter skinned round such as a fail safe or maybe a frangible.

Try a lighter round (weight). Small caliber + heavier round means smaller wound channel but deeper penetration. You need to create a larger wound channel.

Lighter skinned + .270 caliber should be enough power for proper penetration yet provide a wider WC to allow blood to exit. Maybe double penetration (entry & exit channel) + smaller caliber is insufficient to allow blood to exit to make trailing easier.

Or just keep your tracking dog healthy!

Your mileage may vary.
