I guess I am not sure why the need for speed and heavy for caliber bullets...If a guy needs heavier bullets than the standard caliber weights that made them famous,why not move up in caliber?
Why would a guy buy a 270 winchester and shoot 160 grain bullets when he could buy a 30-06 and have the golden standard 180 grain bullets...
The 270 Win is famous for 130 grainer's not 150's and the '06 for 180's...Todays and yesterday's 130 grain bullets in the 270 work just dandy if you don't push the velocity way over the intended speed of the bullet.
In saying all this,I have seen more Elk killed with the 270 Win than anyother caliber with 95% being of the 130 flavor.
I own 2 270's and have shot alot of game with both...There never was one time I thought I needed a 150 grain Nosler over a 130 grain..Not once...
But thats just me having shot the 270 for over 50 years..To each his own.
