I've killed an Antelope, a Muley and a cow Elk with the 140gr NAB out of the regular .270 Winney. Not a ton of kills with it, but it performed very well in all cases. If I was working up a load for the WSM, that's the first killin' bullet I would try.
My T3 in 270 Win loves the 140 NAB. Animals shot with it hate it. Yet to recover a bullet as all have passed through. Performance has been stellar with good wound channels, broken shoulder blades and exits not hard to find. Not much I wouldn't tackle in NA with this rig.

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
My .270 win has a really long throat so I have no problem hitting 3100 fps with a 130 gr. The ballistic tips are awesome on deer. At 400 yards it will punch through both shoulders. I have never recovered one. I started shooting Remington Core Lokt projectiles a while back to save $ and they are almost as accurate and hit just as hard and are half the cost. At least they were. I haven't seen them for sale in quite a while. Now I am using Sierra Pro Hunters -- around $0.26 per. I shoot a fair amount practicing on steel and spending 59 cents a round for Accubonds just hurts.
I guess I have a double dose. As a winter reloading project, I picked up a Tikka T3x in 270win and 270 wsm. My first trip to the range, I found an accuracy node with Interlocks and Partitions at 61g of H4831. The Interlocks shot into one hole and Partitions were1/2”. Interestingly, the Accubond’s best group was also at 61g but grouped 11/2”. I used a COAL that matched factory loads. I’m hoping shortening the bullet jump will tighten the Partitions a bit. Hoping the wsm shoots as well, hopefully with 140 Accubonds. This is my second Tikka to shoot one hole groups it’s first trip to range (the other is a 30-06 shooting 165 Accubonds with a caseful of IMR4350).
My Sako Tecomate (A7S) .270 WSM really likes the 130g NAB's. Groups around 0.5" at 3300+ fps. I'm gonna try the 140g NAB's in my Tikka T3 .270 WSM and Ruger No. 1B .270 Weatherby Mag. and maybe my Weatherby Mk V Accumark, if I decide not to sell it.
Some people are educated beyond their intelligence.
