Thread: 270 over penetration at close range?

ballistic tips were/are designed by Nosler for a purpose.......... using them as a good for everything load ISNT THAT PURPOSE
SST aren't the same projectile
partitions are said to be the ducks nuts.....great but they cost

you wouldn't use just any old load in a .22-250 would you????
poke any .270 load into meat saver area with animal side on or facing slightly away = dead animal
try through shoulder and you need to be a tad more sensible
big angry stag hyped up and bigger/heavier/harder is more sensible still

guys shoot Fallow with VMax projectiles in .30 cal..but they don't shoulder shoot horses for courses that's a specialist head/high neck load designed to decapitate, opposite theory to big stag load.
stag/bush load you want it to hold together and penetrate
other load to blow up causing maximum trauma in minimum area

general purpose load sits somewhere in between


hilux are a great wagon for family but you wont go mud plugging with road slicks or cruising length of country with ya maxxis mudders
both will work if your carefull and selective of what you try to do
