They were Norma Whitetail 130gr soft points. I never had an issue with 130gr bullets before. I was surprised the bullet came apart like that so fast.What bullet were you using? 130g 270 loads have been killing deer for over 100 years.

Hammer Hunter 117 grain. Close to far they will drop with full penetration.I've used a 270 exclusively on whitetails for 40 years with 150 gr partitions. I can't remember the number of deer I've killed with that combo and I've never had a partition not do the job when put where it is supposed to go regardless of distance. Switched to 130 gr partitions in 2020 when I ran out of ammo and they have done the same. Killed 5 elk with the old 270 using the 150 gr partitions, with the longest shot being 350 yards before I convince myself that I needed a 300 wsm.
Bingo.Send it, 270, under 300 yards, won’t matter what it is. You will be making sausage regardless what bullet it is.
I shoot just plain Jane federal powershoks...shoots 3/4 to 1 in out of my 80s rem 700 bdl 270...ain't ever lost 1 most drop ...but hell that's a 270 win for yaWhat would you suggest for a .270 WIN whitetail round from 20-200 yards? Preferably something that will stay together at close range and pass through. Hornady Interlock and the Nosler Partition 130’s come to mind. Any suggestions?
