Q: What is the drop/drift difference of the 130grain..as opposed to the 150 grain at 200 yards? Also,is the dropping power of 150 grain that beneficial for a deer?

A: The 130gr 270 Win SP ammo drops 3" at 200 yards with a 100 yard zero. Assuming a perpendicular wind of 10mph, the same ammo will drift 3" at 200 yards. The 150gr 270 Win SPRN ammo drops 4" and has 5" of drift at 200 yards, again assuming a 100 yard zero for the drop calculation. The 150gr bullet would be a better choice for elk, mule deer, moose, etc. The 130 would be a great choice for deer.
