I am relatively new to handloading for whitetails. My dad raised me on the trusty .270 and we've always had good luck with 130gr Winchester SP's from your friendly neighborhood Walmart.
I'm still learning some of the theory behind what is good bullet performance on animals. I understand and appreciate the weight retention of the recovered bullet, but I guess I'm missing something. Wouldn't a pass-through be preferred? I was raised to appreciate a good blood trail more than a DRT, but I'm still learning.
