My Dad and I both prefer 130 Nosler Ballistic tips in both .270 Win and .270WSM. for deer. I'd definitely go to a more stoutly-constructed bullet for anything bigger and tougher.

i shoot a 150 cor-lokt and that shoots pretty nice for me

It depends on what you are hunting. I use 130 gr. as my go to bullet for whitetails.

Cgull- let me know how those 110 V-max's shoot, I've been wanting to try them out for quite a while now.

No first hand experience with one but the guys I know that have them and are happy mostly use 150's.

For deer, I use the 130 grain bullets. Never had a issue. For hogs I still use the 130's and have used them on shoulder shots with only one issue one time. But my fault as I was using a ballistic tip and not something a little stronger.

130 is the best all round, for elk I like a 140 grain controlled expansion deep penetration bullet like nosler accubond. Both are flat shooters

My dad swore by 110 grain bullets and shot almost all his deer with them. My brother and I use 130 gr.Hornady. Both my father and brother have used this caliber more than me. None of us have ever had problem anchoring deer.

My son uses nothing but 130 grain Nosler Solid Base bullets. His rifle shoots them into a fine cluster at 100 yards. He bought up about 1000 of them when they were discontinued. The Ballistic Tip which is the progeny of the Solid Base is just as accurate for him.

When I was out in New Mexico and Arizona, those Nosler Solid Base .55 grain in my 22-250, I got total pass thru on Mule Deer
