Thread: 270 over penetration at close range?

Deer243 - What Micky Duck is saying I believe is not the weight of the projectile but the construction. The sst has a thin copper jacket to aid expansion whereas an accubond will be thicker for penetration. A mate soley uses Amaxs in his 308 and its leathal - we have never found the projectile in one piece - its always in a million , but its always dropped them on thd spot from 10yds to 400yds. For Rogers270 the sst works well for him and thats great, for me when I trialled it in 130gr, it didn't work so great - not on red skins anyway. Im keen to try the ssts in 150gr one day as aparently a different kettle of fish to the 130grs.

Edit: just seen VCs post - man im a slow typer. Took me 15 minutes for the above!
