This deer bullet thing is way overdone. Deer are not Cape buffalo, relatively
easy to kill. I have killed many deer,several with a 270. The 270 shines with
120-130 gr bullets. There is no need to buy expensive hi-tec bullets. I use
Speer boat tail sps in my 270s. I have used Wins, Rem, Sierra and Noslers
with satisfactory results, dead is dead. Most important thing is to find a bullet
and load that will preform in your rifle. There is no bullet made that makes up
for a poor shot. When you get over 130 gr you are sliding into 7mm territory.
150 gr is in realm of 30 cals. Unless you go after Elk or similar big game the
130 gr will do you.one thing you have to watch is that you don't buy some
kind of target bullet with no expansion qualities. Also some of the premium
big game bullets are designed to penetrate and expand in heavier animals than
Deer.
