.270WSM round for whitetails
Right now I'm looking at 2 different shells. Fed premium Barnes triple shock and Fed premium nosler accubond. Any others I should be looking at?
I want a 140gr shell, I guess could be a 130gr shell too and a bullet type that is going to retain energy. Nothing that fragments!

No reason for a premium bonded type bullet for deer. Good ol Nosler ballistic tip would be great and much cheaper...a deer won't know if it was hit by a TSX, Accubond, BT, berger, gameking, interbond, etc...but like I said, just use the one that shoots best in your gun...

That makes sense then....You didn't read what I posted. I don't want a bullet that fragments. Ballistic tips are out. I've shot deer with them and I'm not impressed with the results and the lack of blood trails from them.

130 gr .270. Good ol' corelok It is one of the more all around calibers, and I have found that the Winchester 130 gr. shoot the best in my rifle, being a NEA Handi rifle, single shot.

I have not had to trail any of the whitetail I shot with my 270WSM with the 130 gr BT. Dead right there performance. Wow, I just looked at the available loads on Midways website and there sure are quite a few available now. When I bought my gun there were like 6 factory loads available now it's 18.

Exactly what I was thinkin.
Guys, I'm not really looking for what shoots best out of your gun. More so looking for more choices of bullets that retain their weight and don't fragment.
Thanks!

When was that? They changed their bullets, now they have varmint and hunting bullets. And your right, I've shot deer with the early version BT's and they were terrible...
Why don't you want them to fragment?
