270 Win 140 SST

[Backcast88]

Meant to post this last year but forgot.

Shot a public land 8pt at 65yds in the swamp. Quartered to me a little and stood in a nice opening trying to get down wind of me so I knew it was now or never. He ran 40-45yds and piled up. I watched him drop so didn't need to blood trail him but still went back to get a sense of blood flow. Had I needed to trail the deer, he wouldn't have been hard to find because it was a river in the woods. My buddy asked me to save the heart. But it looked like the heart and lungs had been placed into a blender so that was a no go.

Congratulations. Great performance by the hunter, the rifle, and the bullet. The buck did his job well also.

I have always felt that the 140 gr bullet was a great performer in the 270 (Win, WSM and Wby).
I have yet to try the new 136 gr Terminal Ascent bullet on game, but if it performs as the 130 gr version has in the 6.5 Creedmoor, I am sure it will rank right up there with my favourite AccuBond bullet!

Nice buck and nice report on the bullet performance. The SST has done well for me in another caliber. Dan.
