Have you considered the Nosler 140 grn Partition ? There are no bullets made as good as Partitions. The soft bullets like SST's. Bt's are all good and well on run of the mill eaters but fail on big heavy animals.

Really. My son has shot over 600 red deer with 65gr GMK and I know because I have loaded each one . None have gotten away.

Well I tried them in my 2506 AI and they separated and turned inside out, same in a mates 308.
They were so poor in the 25 that they produced a saucer / luncheon plate sized flesh wound on Chamois about 30mm deep. Just blew up.
For close out to mid range 270 the ammo 130 grn Winchester Power Point is very good for pigs and eating sized deer. I shot many many pigs with these before I started reloading.
