bp, I didn't think Remington made a 270WSM cartridge.Anyway I had good luck this year with the Federal 140 Accubond. I too feel the 130 ballistic tips are too fragile at close range with the velocities of the short mags. Just my opinion.

Actually, Remington has recently reintroduced the 130 gr Core-Lokt .270WSM that they had offered two years ago then discontinued. While it probably works okay, I would prefer the bonded Nosler Accubond bullet on deer or anything larger. In my .270WSM, I got good results accuracy wise, with the 130 gr Ballistic Silvertip from Winchester and would not be afraid to use it on whitetail or pronghorn, particularly if I expected the shots to be long. For closer shots or big mule deer (or elk) I would resort to one of the Accubond loads from either Winchester or Federal. (Of course, I load my own, with both the Accubond and Ballistic Tips, so I have both of them covered)
