270 Win Help

[Hogwild61]

I have narrowed my bullet selection down to the Win 140 gr Accubond or tthe 150 Gr XP3. Shots will be out to 300 yards on whitetail deer. Any suggetions or other performanced opinions on bullets welcome.

Before I switched to 6.5mmSwede, I used the .270 for many years with Fed.130gr Sierra Game Kings or Fed. 130grs Nosler Partitions.

Like really big whitetails? I suggest just about anything for typical 120lb whitetail

Larger whitetails, looking for flatest shooting and hardest hitting with best channel wound

130 grain Barnes X or I believe now they call it triple shock.It is a Barnes x bullet that is coated,the bullet is blue in color.I have shot several deer with this load and it is excellent.

140gr accubonds will be very flat. But don't overlook the barnes Triple shock. If you like shoulder shots, barnes is your bullet.

In South Fl, the average is 135lbs to 145lbs (sometimes a little heavier), in Central Fl, the average is 155lbs to 165lbs (sometimes a little heavier) andin North Fl, the average is 175lbs to 195lbs (sometimes a little heavier). Most of my deer were shot in North Fl with the above cartridgesthat I posted.

Wow RH, thats some big averages. I think the average deer in MD is only 140lbs.

I looked at the ballistic chart on the Winchester website, it showed the trajectory real close at 300 yds between the Win 150 gr XP3 and 140 gr Win Accubond. I dont have any hands on feild data on the 150 XP3 since its so new. But the Barnes Triple shock is something I need to compare the ballistics on. Is Barnes the actual manufacturer of the entire cartridge? I need to compare the terminal and trajectory performance>

A bonded bullet that is from 130 to 150 grains will work on the deer if it works in yer gun. If you dont reload I reccomend the federal fusion. EJ
