I know you didnt ask but........
I've shot more than a few deer with the 270. About any 130 gr cup-core based bullet moving at 270 velocities is going to give some amount of bloodshot meat. In my mind 2 choices exist - monos or 150 grain bonded bullets of which I'd include the Partution even though it's not bonded. I've shot deer and elk with the 150 Partition and have seen a couple black bears handily dispatched with 150 NPT. In that rather limited sample set, I'd pontificate I've seen less bloodshot meat, 2 holes every time, and very short times between shot and animal down. It's likely my favorite 270 bullet. In fact, I'm doing load development now for a buddy of mine for elk season this year. I have ALOT of faith in the 150 NPT on ungulates at reasonable distances which with a 270 is beyond 500 yards with that combination. It's hard to beat a lightweight, accurate 270 with a 150 NPT.
