[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 469956, member: 13833"] If you were worried about the interlock coming apart,the SST will do it as fast or faster. I would go with the 150 Nosler partition or even the Accubond. With a partition, a shoulder shot will work great and if you hit behind the shoulder you will still get plenty of damage. This is assuming you won't be shooting more than 500 or 600 yards. The partition is a little light on B.C. for that range. At that range, an SST wouldn't be a bad choice. I have killed approx. 30 bull elk with a 6.5, which of course is close to your .270, and by far the majority with a Nosler partition out to 600 yards. I've never had one get away and none made it more than a few yards. A partition gives "VERY" predictable performance no matter where you hit. The bullet will mushroom quickly and stop at the partition. This causes a LOT of initial damage and then drives on through. If you recover the bullet, it will Always look the same. The back portion will be intact with 65% weight retention.Good luck in Arizona.......Rich [/QUOTE]
