.270 cartridge
 

What cartridge isgood for whitetail. I have my .270 sighted in and currently using 130gr. Winchester Supreme Ballistic Tips. Will these be okay, or do you guys recommend something different? Thanks in advance.

RE: .270 cartridge
 

I just use regular core lokts for white tail, no need for premium ammo.

I have used the 130gr bullets for years on deer. My dad likes the 150gr in the silvertips and I like the 130gr in Core Lokts, although I have also had good luck with Power Points. Since you have your gun sighted in for a 130gr bullet I would just stick with that. Core Lokts work great. Never had a deer move more than 3 feet after being shot with one.

RE: .270 cartridge
 

For whitetail sized game the CoreLokt is perfect.
Save a lot of cash too.

Premium bullets are great butI would rather see someone spend thier money on optics and practice.

GTG (good to go):)! Corelokt suck;)

My 270 will never see anything except the 130 grain Federal Fusions. I quit reloading for that gun. The terminal perfrmance is fantastic and they shoot under one inch at 100 yards.

RE: .270 cartridge
 

I may take a look at those federal fusions. Is there any specific type?

The Balistic Silvertips are plent for deer. I use them in everything frommy 243 to my 325 WSM. They work great in most rifles except they dont like to feed in semi auto rifles.

So the rapid expansion of the Ballistic tips isn't something to worry about.

RE: .270 cartridge
 

The expansion from them out of a 270 is made for deer and similar game. The smaller rounds like 223 and 22-250 are ment for varmints. I shot most of my deer with a 270 or 30-06 using Balistic Silvertips. And one or two with a 243 using Balistic Silvertips. You should not have any problems with them.

RE: .270 cartridge
 

These will work wonderful. Particularly on broadside rib shots. Like most 130 grain .270 bullets, they are designed from the ground up for deer hunting.

RE: .270 cartridge
 

130-grain expanding .270 bullets, of whatever make, are perfect for whitetail AND mule deer.......

I shot the .270 Fed. 130gr NP for years and killed, Deer and Hogs with excellent results! Havekilled Elk with 150gr NP.

RE: .270 cartridge
 

You can't kill elk with a .270, its impossible.;)

You probably scared him to death, He probably thought you had a 500678498648. UM.:D

RE: .270 cartridge
 

I scared one through the ribs with the same bullet.

RE: .270 cartridge
 

I used to have a .22, that I would take deer hunting, it was a little Marlin, with a wooden stock, so, Icut the words, 375 Ultra Mag into the stock, and I killed 15 deer, just from the shock of seeing that on the gun.:D

RE: .270 cartridge
 

I'm a .270 owner that prefers the 150s over the 130s. Both are the same price - so if accuracy doesn't suffer more than an inch or so, thenwhy not go with the bigger bullet?

About 2 hrs apart! With .270/ 150gr NP (1994)

RE: .270 cartridge
 

Hey triple. I thought you moved on man.

RE: .270 cartridge
 

A.277 bullet in the right place is strong medicine: A 300 ultra mag in the gut isn't! I have a friend who has a Browning A- Bolt 300 ultra which can't fire a group smaller than 6" at 100 yds over sandbags, but the rifle will do better than 1 moa as I have proven. He just can't handle the blast and recoil, and won't admit it!

RE: .270 cartridge
 

I agree. I believe that 130 grains bullets are ideal for the 270. I also like ballistic tips.
