Only ever recovered one projectile, that was on a stag I shot at 200yds this roar, went through one shoulder, lungs and rested against the skin on the other side. All other animals have had 1-2" exit wounds.

Yep, my father has had similar results in his .270. The .270 130gr ABs were simply devastating - I think he is running them around the 3100-3150fps mark.
I tried the 130gr ABs in my .260 doing about 2850fps and found they killed well. Too hard for my liking though, a small wound track through red deer when compared to the 63gr sierras out of a 223. I figured I didn't step up to a .260 to give me less margin of error over my .223 so I moved on to a softer projectile.
