    .270 140 game kings exploding

    Hey everyone.
    Running 140gr Sierra game kings currently in my 270 at 2700fps.
    Have shot 4 deer so far with these projectiles.... and every one has completely exploded when hitting shoulder or rib, and that's just on sika hinds or yearlings.
    Anyone got any other advice on a good, soft easy expanding projectile to try that will hold together slightly better?
    Going to try eldx in the next load.
