I appreciate all of the responses I am getting - and I don't want to beat this thing to death - sry...
I see now the importance of bullet construction vs. weight - this is something I am reading up on now thanks to all of your input.
By hotter I meant slower burning/higher pressure = more velocity - (assuming same bullet load) is that correct? (r22 vs. IMR 4831sc)
I know I am probably just being overpicky - I just need to start testing...just looking for a place to start as I get some different options depending on what manual I look at - but I have several suggestions here and these line up with my manuals so I will just have to choose one
I think the crux of the issue is I was just expecting more from what I experienced this past season. Both in the one I hit but lost and the one I hit and got. But I am realizing my expectations were based on my dad's deer (.300 WMG) and I think I need to realize that this is a whole different caliber so I need to start over with no expectations and get a solid bullet/powder choice and work on shot placement this summer. (assuming my son will let use the .270 again )
BTW, Here is a pic of where I hit the 2nd deer - I hit right where I was aiming - and I aimed for the same spot on the first deer. Is this a good spot for .270 130 grain say accubonds or partitions?
Thanks again for your patience and input!
