From the mountains of Norh america to the plains of Africa, stick with nosler Partitions and you will never go wrong.

Nosler Partitions would be my choice. Good luck.

If you have time, shoot both with the same load. You will only notice a difference in accuracy at ranges over 200 yards.

In a 270 I would stay away from the Accubonds. I have seen recovered bullets from the 325 wsm and 300 wsm that had separated jackets and failed to penetrate and lost 60 -70% of their weight. You would be pushing a much smaller/lighter bullet with the same amount of powder and that means more stress on each grain of that bullet. Nosler Partition, TBBC and Barnes x would be my top choices due to the better weight retention.

I am going Elk hunting for the first time this season. My guide reccomended the Nosler partitions and the trophy bearclaws. But he said the prefers the partitions in 160-180 grains.
good luck\okcmco

The bearclaws do not get enough press IMHO because they are a great bullet.I've shot moose with the partitions and bearclaws out of my 270 weatherby and have noticed that they hold together better and penetrate better than the partitions. If its good enough for a moose, it will do a number on an elk too.

I also have recently tested the Barnes tripleshox. They are a really good all around bullet as well. Solid Copper and Very accurate!!!!

I took a moose last fall with a 160 gr accubond out of my 7mm rem mag and it shed its core. I will use partitions from now on.
I shoot that load and would be very interested in seeing a picture of that bullet...
