I hear ya I have an hand me down 35rem that has taken a few moose but it is quit a cannon at less than 100 yards.

My 270 win likes the 150 & 140s being the the best. There are so many choices in 270 Winammo I haven't had to load for it yet. Started reloading first to get back to the old Express 35 Rem velocities in my 336, and then for the 358 Win. Now that I have hand taylored loads for themthe 270 win will be next and then the 35 whelen.

Not knowing what grain bullets some one's gun likes the best I usually advise the 140gr bullets. Between Nosler & Hornady all the different bullet types are covered (Partition, B-Tip, Accubond, & InterLock).
