[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1757213, member: 9299"] I have used the 140AB in a standard 270 @ 3,000fps, and at 3-500 yards, they have never failed to expand on deer. Other old styles I have used for deer with good results are the Sierra and Speer 130BT @ 3,125 and the Hornady 140BT, but most of those were kills around 400 and under. The old Sierra/Speer 130BT have hit deer @ 20-50yds, and they have always penetrated for me. Most of the time, they have exited on lung hits and left quarter to half dollar holes. I only had one Speer 130BT stop on a solid shoulder hit, but only after it made it into the hide on the opposing shoulder. [/QUOTE]
