I've tried 225gr Hornady Intelock and Flat Nose but just do not get the accuracy of the 270gr Spire Point. So I stick to loading the 270's for everything.
I would try to find a good load for the lighter hornady. The 270 won't expand on a broadside shot very well. I've killed a few deer with the 270 and feel like it's too heavy for deer sized game.
