I'll agree with the consensus of the others- the Failsafe is an outstanding bullet if you want/need really deep penetration.
For deer, it's overkill- deer aren't that thick.
The Nosler Ballistic Tip is an excellent whitetail bullet, IME, and a 140 in the 270 should work well- I know for a fact the 130 does.
I've done a small amount of testing with Failsafes versus some other bullets. The Failsafe will penetrate more than a Nosler Partition will- which is saying something.
If I were to hunt something quite large- like trophy elk or moose, I'd load 160 Failsafes in my 280 with confidence the bullet would do the job.
