RE: .270 factory ammo
I would also like to know who makes one that heavy for a .270.
I have a Remington 700 .270.
130gr. Winchester Ballistic Tips- held the tighets group. At 200 yards, I can put three shots in a dime sized hole. I also liked these bullets b/c (in my rifle) the point of impact was the same at 100 and 200 yards. I didn't have to worry about adjusting my shot. Just put the cross hairs on the target/deer and squeeze the trigger. This amazed me. Didn't like the meat damage though.
130gr. Hornady SST's- Good groups, liked them. Didn't mess up meat and got the job done. REALLY close to the Win. B. Tips. Only reason I stopped using them is b/c they are hard to find around here. Not many places carry them. I like shooting a pretty good bit during the off-season and got tired of having to order them or having to drive 40 miles to buy a box.
140gr Winchester ACCUBOND- Used them last year, great on paper. I didn't get to test them on a deer. First year I didn't kill any deer in six years. (due to lack of time).
130gr Win. Power Points- Dropped too fast. Anywhere to 2-4 inches of drop when compared to the Ballistic tips at longer shots. Cheap! Use them on yotes and a lot of paper shooting.
130 Win Power Point Plus- Done great on paper, didn't like them b/c the bullet itself "bends" and "nicks" too easy. This has to eventually scar the barrel and descrease performance. Didn't hunt with them b/c of this.
130gr Remington core lokt- Killed A LOT of deer. Bullet has been around for ever and has proven its abilty. Drops too fast, my rifle really didn't group well with them.
This year I will either use the ACCUBOND's b/c my rifle is already set with them. Or if I can roll enough change, might try a couple boxes of the FUSION.
