    A couple of pics skin hunting pre-dating my meat hunting. With the old 303's. I was just a kid (pic not of me). Mate Bill's foresight was a lump of filed to shape solder. In the Puketios. You can see...

    No personal experience. However I'm of the opinion that 130 gr is the sweet spot.

    130 grain Hornady Interlock at 3100 fps will do anything you ever wanted from a .270 in a hunting rifle.
