There are a lot of quality "Bonded" bullets out there for dangerous game but for just a deer.I use the cheap (then) sierra 130 & 140 gr SPBT bullet in my .270.

First it is accurate and second, I have never shot a deer or had one go more than 30 yards after being hit with a lung or heart shot.
My last buck was was lightly brushing its horns with another smaller buck, as the heard worked up the hill to lay down after coming from small stream.
He was the lower Buck on the hill and at the shot, he just raised up his for end and flipped backwards, onto its back , lights out. The other buck just looked at him, as to say, "Wow, did I just do that" ??

Here is a picture of the 130 gr Sierra that did the job.
It is not pretty and not what the company wants them to look like but they do the job.
