[QUOTE="wyogeargeek, post: 2617200, member: 64586"] Personally I wouldn't overthink this. I have been a .270 Winchester shooter for most of my 67 years. For years I have killed 95 percent of my big game animals from moose to pronghorn with this caliber loaded exclusively with 130 grain bullets, primarily Sierras and Hornady. Later in life I switched to Barnes for elk and was exceptionally please with their performance. That said I never had a bullet failure or lost animal from using the Sierras and Hornady. My father-in-law who has many more kills than I, used Hornady and Sierra 130s never could understand why I would pay for a"premium" bullet based off his vast experience. He did switch to 140s when they came out just because he thought they were a good compromise and wanted to give them a try. Just my 2 cents worth as a lifetime user and fan. [/QUOTE]
