Thread: Bullet Performance on game

I haven’t shot nearly as many animals as many of you, but I’ve never had an animal walk away from a 130gr SST from my .270. Most have dropped on the spot & none have gone more than about 10-15m. Have taken a couple at around 350yd but mostly within 100yd. 8m neck shot on a red stag during the 2020 roar dropped him on the spot. Likewise with a 5m head shot on a 4pt red outside the roar. Have never recovered a projectile from any animal. Don’t mind if a shoulder shot causes a bit more trauma than other projectiles, as I’d rather lose a little extra meat but make sure the animal goes down quick & hard. Not saying it’s the best projectile out there, but it’s what I’ve always used & I’m yet to lose an animal from one.
