I know a 30 caliber has more frontal area and is considered better for this alone, but how about a 270 firing a 160 grain nosler partition between 2700 and 2800fps. Some say penetraton is what it is all about and place less emphasis on frontal area(the best of both worlds would be ideal,I suppose), but if this is the case then why not almost any caliber from 243 on up with a Barnes bullet(they are almost armor piercing from what I have heard) They make a 130gr tsx for my 6.5x55 and I can drive at 3000fps. They should penetrate very well and shoot plenty flat. Should I get a 270...something bigger...or am I good with my Swede?
