I may give the 180 Woodleigh a try in the 270WSM just because. What I am looking for is to increase normal range knock down as it is really hard to track an animal in the south Tx. thorn brush.
That's an interesting bullet. Seems like stability would be questionable in cold low altitude climates, but in TX I guess it would be OK most of the year. If you could get a 1:9" .270WSM, everything would be peachy.
As far as getting an immediate stop, I'll be curious what your results are with that bullet. I've always figured if I wanted no tracking in close quarters, that's what my .45-90 is for. Maximum PBR with a 400-405gr soft is about 200y, but after that it falls off the map. The farthest anything's gone when hit was about 10y.
