I have a pretty nice collection of Hornady 140 grain bullets recovered from just under the offside hide of deer and hogs that were fired from my 270s.
I kept using this bullet because it is accurate and a really quick killer.
At the same time I used 150 grain Hornady bullets in the 30-06 to hunt the same critters in the same places.
I never recovered one,not ever.
I just find more 270 bullets in dead critters.
Maybe it's because most of my shots are fairly close and iimpact velocities are higher with the 270 and they expand more,I don't know.
I do know that cup and core bullets do tend to work great on game from the 308 and the 30-06.
I know Dober hunts pretty open country so maybe the differences we report are due to my critters being mostly inside of 200 yards and his are often a good bit further.
