[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 324732, member: 2011"] bigngreen, in our 270 win we run the 130 Noslers and 140 Hornady BTSPs at just under 3200 (sounds faster than 3190:rolleyes:) and are plenty pleased with performance on paper and game (Mule deer and yotes) and at a wide spectrum of ranges. Shot a decent sized 3X4 buck a couple of years back with the 130 Nosler solid base. He was quartering away ( I thought he was broad side as I was shooting through brush) Bullet entered just ahead of the right ham hitting that little short rib like bone sticking down, made a straight and very impressive wood channel through the insides settling just under the skin beside the left shoulder. It was DRT. I don't know what velocities ya'll are running with the WSMs but I coasting along with the 150s at 3500+ and the 140s at 3600 plus in the AM. Waiting on the 169s as you are. I've modified the 140 Hornady for a bit better bc and have settled on that bullet, for the moment, for the 270 AM. It shoots a along with the Noslers and has a shorter bearing surface and has performed well on gave over the years. [/QUOTE]
