I just purchased a new Weatherby vanguard series 2 in a .270 caliber to hunt mule deer and elk in the wide open mountains of Idaho. Most of the shots would be anywhere from 50-400 yards in open terrain. In an older remington .270 I had used 150gr soft point core loct and never lost an animal although rarely did they ever anchor at the location they were shot. Most would run 50-100 yards even though they were struck broadside with good placement. It makes locating them somewhat difficult although I have never lost one yet. What would you suggest for a better bullet? I was looking at the Federal Premium 140 gr accubond but it looks like they have recently discontinued them. Any suggestions?
