I voted unleaded, because my elk was shot with a Barnes TTSX, but had I not thought I bumped my scope on my primary rifle I would have been shooting lead core.
 
Lead. I have been using 140gr Accubonds in my 270 the last 2 seasons. Recently picked up a bunch of Barnes TTSX to try out. Planning on getting a new rifle for next year and will shoot both to see what the rifle likes best.
