    I have been using 130 gr .270WSM Winchester BST. Excellent long range performance. I have heard they can suffer short range failure in high velocity calibers. I have placed a shoulder shot into a red at about 50 yards, it hit high and didn't penetrate the bone.

    The odd thing about winchester BST is, at my local H&F anyway, they were cheaper than winchester power points.

    The Nosler website says winchester use their BST projectiles. I'm going to reload BST in 150 gr when I get my gear set up.

    I imagine 180gr BST wont have a problem taking anything down. You may not get much meat off it though.
