"There's a reason Nosler doesn't make a 150gr Accubond in .277. Your story demonstrates why that is the case."

That bullet's performance on that animal entirely floored me.

I was hunting with an outfit's owner that I had known since childhood. My father had guided for the business. I had spent summers as a teen in the Bob, building corrals, digging outhouses, constructing wall tent frames from lodgepole, etc.

She called me when she was 74 years old. Called me on the phone and said, "My last year! Wanna hunt with me?"

....and that's how that damned long-ass .270 bullet ended up penetrating completely on that animal.
