270 questions

[Chuck7]

Hi folks,
I'm a new owner of a Remington 700 ADL 270..and have a few newbee questions.

1. What is the best round / grain bullet for deer medium sized deer 130-170pounds ?

I plan to shoot at ranges between 100-250 yds..

2. I inherited a whole lot of 270 rounds from a friend..all different grains..Can you over shoot a rifle{ Wear one out from shooting too much} if so..about how many rounds..?



3. In your humble opinion ..what is the best 270 round out there for 300 yd shots at medium sized deer..?

thanks,
C7

if you wish to, you could burn the throat out in a day, just don't let it get to hot, give it time to kool.

shoot the 130's, its the optimum bullet weight for deer.

sight it in +1" at 100 yards, then hold on hair to 300.
Its a great deer rifle

The cheapo 130gr federals were shooting the best out of my 270.

Used 150gr nosler partitions on vancouver island monster black bears and it got the job done.

130grainers are the way to go I think, now they have the 130gr TSX if you were ever going after something big.

I always use the 150 grain. I've killed allot of deer with my 270.

Congrats Chuck. It's a great round. What's it scoped with?

[Chuck7]

only the scope that came with it..a 3 x 9 Remington...looks like any 1 inch scope will fit in it.

The 130-grain bullet works well in my 270-Winchester. You may have to shoot a few different brands of ammo to find the best accuracy for your rifle. My 270-Winchester likes 130-Grain Winchester Supreme Ballistic Silver Tip ammo the best.
I handload for this rifle and my handloads are 140-grain Nosler Accubond bullets.

[Chuck7]

yes sir..I got a box of them silver tipped ..I also have about 200 other rounds,,from 100 grain reloads to boxes of 150.Winchester and Federal//
