[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 1809182, member: 53101"] So I am looking at different bullet designs as I would like to develop a universal load for my 30-06 and my .270 win. I am looking for performance from 0 to 800 yards on both Deer and Elk. High BC is desired and needs to carry 1000+ Ft lbs of energy to 800 yards. These are my general requirements. In general is see 2 extremes that must be satisfied: [LIST=1] [*]Penetration for quartering shots inside 300 yards [*]Energy transfer at 800 yards [/LIST] In close range ideal shots, any heavy hunting bullet should be ok for either rifle, in my opinion. No matter where you hit the animal any hunting round will expend enough energy to get the job done if at all possible. With the high energy anything should get the job done (milk jug shot by any bullet from '06/270 at 100yrs blows up, 800 yards it is not so much the case). I am thinking 150 Partitions for the 270 might be best and 208 ELD-M for the '06. I am looking for other people's opinions on what they have found works for similar uses. [/QUOTE]
