The factory Barnes 130s in both .270 and .308 seem so similar on paper. Do you think there's any difference in terms of effectiveness on game of the 130 .308 loads compared to the .270 one out to 300 yards? What if you had to push it with the .308 to 350 or max 400 yards? I know many guys would say the 130 .270 could take game at 500 yards, and I know the .308 does start losing a bit of steam at some point. Do you think you can harvest deer at a max 400 yards with these 130 .308 loads?
