RE: .270 for north country bucks
I would use 130gr bullets as the 150's are not needed for deer.The 130's are also more accurate in your rifle so you have a better chance at getting the shot placement you desire.

RE: .270 for north country bucks
The 130-grain that shoots well in your rifle is the one I'd use. The idea that one should use round-nose bullets in close-range brush condiditions is a lot of bull!! In fact, the 130-grain is good for anything up to caribou and similar sized critters!!

RE: .270 for north country bucks
Go with the 130's, I have taken a number of deer in the bush with a 270 and 130gr bullet.
No such thing as a bush beater so don't even think about it. Shoot what groups the best it will give you more confidence and room for error in the heat of the moment.

RE: .270 for north country bucks
My father has used a ParkerHale 270 with 130gr bullets for over 30 years. Most of his hunting is in northern BC where he usually hunts those huge moose. He says he has never had a problem with that combination in all that time, usually making ons shot kills on the moose. So don`t worry about those 130grs not doing the job on northern deer.

The 130gr bullet is all one would ever need out of a .270 Win when hunting deer. <img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: .270 for north country bucks
Danny,
I have never used Hi Shoks but I have killed deer with both .270 150gr and 130grs core lokts. I like the 130's better because they group better and fly a little bit flatter. They will both kill a deer, use which ever one groups better.
Good luck.
