Q: My question goes to 270 Win Ammo, I have yet to find on your site 180 gr SP, I was looking at taking my Winchester 70 (my dad’s gun) on an Elk or Mule Deer hunt this year and was looking for an round that has more punch then the 130 gr, I grew up using? How is the hitting power of this 150gr SP compared to the 130gr? Most of my shots will be close to 200yrds so I need something with a more power on the back side, to drop larger game.
Thanks Jason (Cedar Hill, TX)

A: There are no commercially available .270 Win loads with 180gr bullets - that length projectile would not stabilize with the standard twist rates used by most manufacturers for .270. For elk or mule deer, .270 Win 150gr soft points are an excellent choice.
