It was pretty much perfect. I was a small entry with a silver dollar exit. There was no fragmentation or bloodshot meat. It was a double lung shot (I don’t like to waste meat) and it took a couple hops and dropped dead. The blood was like a path. It couldn’t have done much better. I only got the Fusions because that’s one of the few factory loads available in 338 Federal. It was the cleanest kill I have ever had on a deer. It worked to perfection. I was impressed.
I have used a 150g Barnes TTSX on a buck out of a 308. It worked but did not expand well and did not leave much of a blood trail. The buck dropped after about 50 yards though. If I use a Barnes out of the 308 again, ig will be a 110 ot 130 grain. I think a Barnes would work well for you with 270 velocity - especially a lighter one. 100 or 110 grain if they are available in 270. Or a heavier Fusion.
