Its not something I have ever noticed, and Ive used that particular cartridge alot. So the most likely factor to identify is the shooters choices, or bias in information perceived/ a combination of both, Surely?

There is an absolute HUGE difference between brands and models of projectiles..some are harder than hard and don't expand bugger all,others very explody. Personally I like explody 130 grn and not so explody heavier weights. Lightweights for light game and pick shots carefully on bigger deer...using stouter,heavies take out the front wheels and they dead before they limp five yards. Of all the deer I e shot with .270 over the years,the only ones that go more than twenty yards is when I haven't hit shoulders.
