Default RE: Your opinion on best .270 load for long range.

i use a 270 for antelope and mulies. i hit an antelope at 420 with my 130 grain hornady and it just put him right down. i live in montana so we have a lot of long shots. Most of my shots are around 300 yards and that bullet does what its suppose to do. it keep most of the engery inside the animal when it hits em. I have noticed when that bullets hits, it fragments into a lot of pieces and does damage. i hit my buck a little high, but my bullet fragmented and just took out his lungs and heart and actually had some fragments in his kneck. I love that bullet.. its an ass kickin bullet and will bail you out if you make a semi poor shot.
