well ive never shot these shells before. And im only limited to 100 yards because we're drivin off some woods tomorrow for whitetail. I didnt kno where else to ask this
I can't answer for a 270, but I can answer on 223, coming out of an AR. All I shoot is hollow point varmit (usually 50 gr), or SP, usually 63 gr.
Out of my AR's the 63 gr. SP seems to be slightly more accurate, not a tremendous amount, just enough difference to be noticeable, if you pay attention. Of course the greater the wind velocity, the more accurate the 63 gr. SP becomes.
Out of the same AR's the 50 gr. HP does a very good job.
The biggest differences I see between the two bullets is the amount of damage after you hit the target (PD's in my case). The 50 gr. HP just totally wrecks a PD. A mid body hit creates A LOT of external damage, and almost appears to be on the verge of turning the carcass inside out.
The 63 gr. SP has a totally different effect on the carcass. The carcass externally is mostly intact, but you can tell there's a tremendous amount of internal damage. Sometimes I get an exit wound, and sometimes not. It seems like a hit with the 63 gr. SP like every bone in its body is crushed, or broken. It's like taking a well (live) PD, and stomping it over and over with your foot. The carcass is very limp, i.e. like the skeleton has been totally destroyed.
Don't know if this is relevant enough to help you any, or not, but I sure hope it does.
Hangtime.
