Default RE: Why not 180 grain .270??

Hi James,

Unless something has changed very recently....you are correct. Barnes offers the 180 grain Original, (copper jacket - lead core), round nosed bullet for .270 and Nosler offers a 160 grain Semi-spitzer Partition. One of the rifles carried by my wife at various times in Alaska was chambered for .270 Winchester. It was loaded with those 160 Partitions. (They actually nearly always out-penetrate even the 180 Barnes Original.) Both good heavy game bullets!
