.270 Win with 130gr Game Kings, 130gr Interlocks, 140gr BTSP Interlocks, and 1st generation 150gr Ballistic Tips. I've said it many times here on the Campfire, but I really don't know why I don't currently own a .270�

257 WBY magnum. Death ray. Just got mine out to try for the first time. You are right. Shot a deer and DRT. Of course all I had was the head and it worked. But the other 4 deer I"ve shot with it ran like heck. Not that far, but like heck. A buddy has shot probably 15-20 deer with his too. Finally dropped one this year. Broke its back. Its shot placement to be reliable DRT, not caliber. I won't argue some calibers are more prone to shocking, than others. But shot in the ribs, and not close to the spine or major bones, fast or slow, probably 99% of the deer shot there will run.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

270Weatherby Mag. 130gr Hornady. It will on a lung/chest hit blow blood out the nose and mouth. No deer sized animal can survive, even for a second or two, from that degree of trauma.

You know as slow as my 308 is, the Ballistic tips are not that bad out of it.
I still fail to see why anyone would run a 150 bt out of a 300 mag though... my BIL used to all the time... and waste who knows how much meat.
I still don't care that much for them unless they are driven slowly.
Like in my 1800 fps 243 load with 80 bt varmint bullets.. those work just right at that speed at around 150ish yards. Pretty quiet and for rib shots work just right.

Combination of two calibers:
243 from age 6 - 16 - took over 100 WT with it
16- current age - 25-06 Taken another 100 wt as well as a dozen desert mule deer and two elk
Grew up hunting a ranch with a doe cull operation, hence the larger than normal numbers.

The 280 Remington is overbore.
