The .270 is a 3,000 fps round with 130's, so that's fairly fast.
I don't use monos in the medium calibers unless they're moving over 3K fps. More speed is better.
If I was a bone cruncher, that would be different. We like to chest shoot our WT''s to preserve meat, not tear up shoulders.
My .257R shoots the 100 TTSX at 3,250 fps over a good dose of H100V. At 3,250 fps, that mono is a killer, does very well.
In the high 2K fps range, I prefer softer bullets.
Speed kills...
But ya gotta match bullet design with velocity for optimal results.
IMO.
