    ive shot Sambar with the .270 an factory rounds.........
    i typically say to use a heavier (150gr) prjectile if Cup an core................... cos the 270 is closer to 3000fps with 130gr the cup an core tend to wanna open up to much but if lung shooting no drama but hit bones an ya risk lacking penetration..

    Accubonds r awesome.... Barnes if ya have a thick wallet, VorTX 130gr........

    wouldnt hurt to make a load for wapiti using premium projectiles either...

    FYI- im using the 7mm08 with a 140gr Woodleigh OR Corelokt Ultra Bonded reloads....... if customs let me out . (both sambar loads )
