For several years I have been using the Hornady 6.8 caliber 120 gr pointed soft point bullet just under 2800 fps using Hodgen 4831sc in My 270s. Results on 9 of our smaller Tennessee deer have been great. Most of the deer drop where they are when hit in chest area. A few have run no more than 40 yards, Blood trails are minimal even though all bullets exited. Internal damage is extensive to lungs and ribs but not that much meat damaged. Bullet seating has not been a problem. Accuracy in Remington 700 has been 1" to 1 1/5"groups at 100 yards. My older Winchester model 670 groups this bullet/powder combination at 3/4 inch at 100 yds.
