Default RE: .270WSM..140gr or 150gr for whitetails???

The .270 is one of the original speed merchants, I never could understand why anybody'd want to slow 'em down to .30-06 performance by using bullets heavier than the game required. The 130s are legendary deer killers, the 150s are supposedly for deep penetration, and the 140s are just a compromise. Back when it was the new kid on the block, one bullet company actually made 120s which acted like bombs on whitetail and desert mulies. [8D]
