i'm shooting remmington 150 grain core lokt rounds now... should i switch? i will be using the rifle for varmints at ranges up to 300 yards and also for deer... should i use 150's or 130's?
150gr. bullets in the 270Win. are intended for BIG game hunting, and should not be used
for varmints.
Remington makes a 100gr. bullet loading for the 270Win., and this would make a fair
varmint round. I've tried 'em in my 270, and I get very good accuracy with them.
Another option, go with 130gr. bullets. They will make a good deer hunting load, and
can pass/be useable for some varminting. 130gr. for the 270Win. is available from all the ammunition manufacturers so if one brand/style doesn't shoot too well in your
particular rifle, try another (Remington, Federal, Winchester, Hornady, etc.)
