I've had very good luck with 140 AB's out of a .270 Win on over a dozen critters total, consisting of deer, elk, and one black bear. After using 150 Partitions for many years, I find the AB's very comparable in many ways and tend to shoot better in my rifle. I shot a fair amount of 140 AB's into dry newsprint and green pine logs before I ever sent an AB into an animal. I needed to feel confident the 140 AB could do it on an elk.

Here is a pic of the 3 I have recovered the rest existed. Sorry to bore all those who have seen this picture before as I have posted it a couple times.
