I have taken over 35 whitetails w/ the 270. I started w/ 130 gr. bullets and found that they were blowing thru the animals (well placed shoulder shots) and the deer were running 50-100 yds BEFORE going down. I went to 150 gr. w/ a slightly slowed down load (circa 2700 - 2800 fps) and the deer started dropping in their tracks.

This was PA hunting most shots less than 100 yds.I killed on Co. whitetail the weighted 200 plus also. Frankly, I would not reccomend the 130gr.highly based on my experience. I have not tried noslers or barnes bullets in the 130. But my feeling is why expierment w/ what has proved to be a deadly load.

Ruger M77 Load 150 gr sierra boat tail; 55 gr. of IMR 4831, CCI 200 primers - neck sized only ( used the same brass 10x at least) shooting 1 MOA to 1.5 off the bench. VERIFY THE POWER CHARGE SINCE I AM GOING FROM MEMORY RIGHT NOW.
