I use Hornady 140gr SPBT Interlocks now (see John Wooters article Hunting July 1986, where he says the 140 gr bullet has been one of the best improvements to the 270). For a hunt for Tahr and Chamois to New Zealand a few years ago my load was chronographed at 3,044 fps out of my Winchester pre64 featherweight’s 22” barrel. That’ll do me. According to Wooters this bullet (with a reasonable BC) shoots flatter than the 130 gr and has more energy beyond 100 yards than the 150 gr. Wooters says “that’s some compromise.”
Happy to email or message the article to anyone who is interested.
