I saw what it did to a couple of animals & wasn't impressed.Was factory ballistic tips he was using too.
I have a t3 in 270win but using factory ammo but only so I can blame Winchester when I stuff up n miss .

I think this is more a case of using the right projectile for the job than a reflection on the cartridge.

also, its dropped everything dead on the spot. 50m-550+
