do y'all .270 shooters prefer shooting deer DRT?

When I hunted with a .270 I used 150gr and never had any bad results
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I've been shooting 140 grain SST in my 270 Win. I've been thinking about dropping down to a 130 grain Partition or Accubond. Or maybe going with a 140 grain Accubond. Not sure which weight is better, though.
83% of all statistics are made up.

130gr Nosler Partition, best of all worlds....

130-140gr is the happy zone for a .270

Personally, I would just test some and shoot whatever the gun liked best. I think it matters a lot more where you hit them and on the particular deer than it does on the difference of 20 grains of bullet weight.
I do think you will have better success on a marginal shot with a bullet that stays together. I love the Federal Fusion bullets in 150 grn from my 270.

the reason for going to a higher weight bullet should be for better penetration. Inside 400 yards BC don't mean squat, but higher velocity does mean a flatter flight path. So ya go with a premium bullet at lower weights and higher velocities. Flat shooting AND deeper penetration.

a 140/150 will NOT shoot flatter to 400 yards than a 130.
