deer, whitetail

Doesn't matter which you use. Either will kill the world's biggest whitetail, or mulie, for that matter, with one shot.

RE: Help with 270 ammo

Both will do the same job but I have a preference for Federal ammo so I would use the Fusions.

RE: Help with 270 ammo

I just got a .270 WSM and would like to know this also !

I am looking into 140 Federal Accubonds,150 FederalNoslerPartition,150 Fusions , 140 Win Supreme Accubond , 150 Win. Supreme Elite XP3 !!

I shot a buck last weekend with a 140 Win.Supreme Accubond.........it dropped him like a rock but did not put a big hole in him !!

The Fusions shot good out of my gun but I did not end up with any to hunt with !! Heard they were awesome !

Anyone with experience with any of these..........I would love to know what kind of penetration, size of exit hole, etc. you got with them !! Thanks !
