I shot a couple of deer with the original 140gr .270s. The details of the first have popped off the stack, but the second one remains. Shot a forkie straight-on in the neck at about 25 yards. He dropped like a rock, naturally, but the bullet didn’t exit. Since I had that one butchered, I didn’t do an autopsy, but have to think it just blew up on the vertebrae, with no sign of the hit other than the entrance hole. Certainly effective, the only movement he made after the shot was a slow-pedal with one hind leg.
I imagine they’ll be good for “rib shots” as JB calls them, but I’d keep ‘em away from the steaks.
