i used a win 270 as a backup rifle on an elk hunt. i found that sierra game kings @150 grains had as much energy as some .30/06 loads at 180 grains. The balistic tips fly nice, but I shot a deer with one from about 30 yards and the bullet exploded and jellied the deer's innards. never took another step, but there was significant disintegration of the bullet, and pieces were found in the meat. not a close-range treestand round, obviously. the 270 is very speedy! I sold the rifle, sadly. I'll look to see if I have any ammo for you to play with...
