[QUOTE="CapDog, post: 187894, member: 6079"] I have the 270WSM and it is very capable of taking deer cleanly out to the ranges you are looking at going and even further. My favorite load is the 140gr Accubond, especially since the chance of a close encounter is very real where I hunt and has occurred on occasion, as close as 10 yards so far. Although the ballistic tip and accubond may appear the same they are not. The accubond has the core bonded to the jacket to prevent them from separating and in my experiences has proven to be true. The ballistic tip is pretty fragile and although an excellent longer range round, if there is the possibility of a close encounter or heavier game I would stick with the accubond to avoid blow ups, especially since you will be pushing the 130gr version to over 3300fps.
