[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1493842, member: 30902"] Unfortunately with only the cannelure and no bonding high velocity impacts really tend to shell them out. My experience shows that the bullets just don't hold together well above 2000fps. They have a pretty thin, soft jacket too that adds to the bullet breakup. Fortunately if you hit the target with enough energy they tend to penetrate well into the vitals before turning into little bombs similar to the Nosler NBT but fly a whole lot better. Can't help with the 270 as I've only shot them in the .260's STW's, wm's and Rum's but I had similar results with all. For powders look hard at RL23 and RL26. If RL26 will work for you at all you should love it. Overall though you might be happier with the Nosler ABLR's. They too fly very well and with the bonding even at high velocity they stick together and will almost always give you a clean exit without penciling through or leaving a hole you can toss a volley ball through.
