I’ve blasted a couple of 6x6 elk with the 130gr in a 270 win with good results.

I've killed many deer with 140gr fusions with my 280 with great performance. They were quite accurate.

When i tried the same ammo on a moose I had poor results, 2 shots and both deflect off bone.

Have had better performance and accuracy with remington core lokts which are also cheaper.

I run mostly nosler and barnes now but they aren't very accessible if you don't reload.

There’s a guy on YouTube that does some good videos on speed comparisons and weight retention on this stuff. Seems to hold together on his tests into gel anyway. Accurate out of my 30-06 M77. Mason Leather is the YouTuber
