No I haven't I'm a Nosler Partition guy. I do know how fast they drop using a .270 wsm 150 grain. Probably killed 20 -30 whitetail in last 10 years only one took more than one step.

But if that GK really explodes their lungs can you imagine what a .338 Sierra GK would do to deer lungs traveling at the same speed as your 270?


Your thesis has two problems: 1. The 338 Win mag you mentioned earlier doesn't move 250 grain bullets nearly as fast as a 270 does 130's. 2. You fail to take bullet construction into account. The 338, 250 grain GK is built tougher than the 270, 130 grain GK and won't upset nearly as much in the relative light resistance of a deer chest cavity.
