what are your bullet performance variables at different ranges?

[John Y Cannuck]

Reloading is mostly a rabbit hole for people prone to over thinking problems.

As long as you use quality components, using a reliable load development process to make the most accurate round you can with those components, based on the most consistent bench technique you can manage, will always produce a round that is good enough for harvesting meat.

Great hunters aren't great because they can make impossible shots with expensive equipment. They are great because they don't have to.

Nicely put!

I guess I'm asking for info on how to select bullets that will maintain the best terminal specifications over the distances the cartridge can be used for.

in this case, three cartridges:
.270 Win (22" barrel)
7mm-08 (28" barrel)
.45-70 (15" barrel)

Use as heavy as you can stabilize.

For me I would use
270 - 140gr sierra tipped game king or berger 150gr hunting vld unless you have a fast twist then the berger 170gr eol
7mm-08 - 165gr sierra tipped game king, 162gr hornady eld match or if you have the twist (1:8) I would choose the 180gr eldm over all others.
45/70 - 405 to 500gr

what about Accubonds?

They act like Partitions when they hit for the most part. Little higher BC, tend to shoot better. Little less insurance against total blow-up. When the same weights are available in Ballistic tips you can bet on them shooting together.
