Load for .270 Win
 

I am in the process of starting to reload my .270 and am looking at 130 grain bullets. Any suggestions for this and a 150 grain load would be appreciated

You didn't say what you were hunting, but the 130gr Hornady SST's are great out of a 270win for deer. If you'll be hunting elk I would go with the 130gr Hornady Interbond or the 140gr Nosler Accubond. I've also heard the Barnes TSX are awesome on game, but I have no personal experience. These are my favorites, but there are many other good choices. Brett

IMO, so is 130 NP and Sierra Game Kings

For deer any 130gr bullet will work nicely I prefer the130 NBT under H4831. For larger 150NPunder H4831 is what i have used. Though I'd be inclined to try a 130gr Barnes TSX under one of the 4831's or RL19 if elk or moose are in the picture. I use the 140TSX in my 7mm rem mag it works awesome on elk and moose.

skeeter do you generally get pass thrus on your deer with the bt's? if you do on canadian deer i know they will on oursmaller wv deer.

RE: Load for .270 Win
 

IMR 4064 with 130's has always been the way to go for me.

RE: Load for .270 Win
 

Yep. Only casewith regards to the 130/.277 that didn't exit was a flush shoulder shot 100 yards or so. In that case the bullet smashed the entrance shoulder, the bullet and bone frags took out the lungs but pentration was pretty much halted inside the scapula. That was a good sized wt buck, I don't weigh them here to often but I don't think he'd of had to much trouble tipping the 300lb mark on the hoof. Behind the shoulder no problems at all.

I have heard all the internet talk and weighed in on many of those debates as I just haven't found it to be the case in my experience with regards to the BT, stillmy favorite deer bullet and there are some pretty good choices today. I think what happens is many don't understand the design of the BT and/or blame the bullet vs the shooter. Or are basing there opinions on the old NBT that were known to be unpredictable on game. In my case I simply got ansy and pulled on him a little early, shooter failure not nosler. Common sense, pick a bullet that matchs the situation and your much better off.

54gr of IMR4350 and 130gr gamekings have killled alot of deer for me and over 3K fps.

RE: Load for .270 Win
 

Thanks, I shoot the 130's for deer here in Northern California or if we head back to Wyoming. The 150's are for a friend who wants to hunt elk. I already reload my 06 with the CT Balistic Silver Tips in 165 gr.and get good results

RE: Load for .270 Win
 

For the .270 WIN., I have adopted just three loads - covers everything :

110 grain Sierra and 58 grains of IMR 4350 varmints up to coyotes
130 grain Nosler Partition, 55.5 grains of IMR 4350everything inlower 48 except elk & moose
150 grain NoslerPartition, 53.5 grains of IMR 4350everything in Alaska,elk & moose in the lower 48

RE: Load for .270 Win
 

I totally Agree!!:)

RE: Load for .270 Win
 

I'll have to try the 110gr for varmit.

RE: Load for .270 Win
 

For varmints, you might also take a look at the 90 gr. Sierra HP. I used to load this bullet with 55.0 gr. of IMR 4350, and got great accuracy. Essentially makes your .270 into a .243

RE: Load for .270 Win
 

Try 130gr Hornady's /Winchester or Federal cases/magnum primers and 57gr of IMR 4831.I've used this load for over 25 years on moose,deer ,antelope and bear with no compaints from the muzzle to near a quarter mile.I won't use Remington brass as it is too brittle and the necks crack after only a couple reloads.100 Win . brass lasted me nearly 10 years before wearing out.Use magnum primers in everything for any hunting in -10F or colder.5% of your velocity is the primer under the powder!Never needed a 150gr but let your gun decide what,s more accurate.........Harold

I have taken over 35 whitetails w/ the 270. I started w/ 130 gr. bullets and found that they were blowing thru the animals (well placed shoulder shots) and the deer were running 50-100 yds BEFORE going down. I went to 150 gr. w/ a slightly slowed down load (circa 2700 - 2800 fps) and the deer started dropping in their tracks.

This was PA hunting most shots less than 100 yds.I killed on Co. whitetail the weighted 200 plus also. Frankly, I would not reccomend the 130gr.highly based on my experience. I have not tried noslers or barnes bullets in the 130. But my feeling is why expierment w/ what has proved to be a deadly load.

Ruger M77 Load 150 gr sierra boat tail; 55 gr. of IMR 4831, CCI 200 primers - neck sized only ( used the same brass 10x at least) shooting 1 MOA to 1.5 off the bench. VERIFY THE POWER CHARGE SINCE I AM GOING FROM MEMORY RIGHT NOW.

RE: Load for .270 Win
 

Lol, I shot a doe this fall with a 130 Speer SPBT with 58 gr. of 4831 at about 20 yards and it dropped her like a sack of spuds. OK, so that is not the best example but it was funny to me just to get a shot that close. ;)

RE: Load for .270 Win
 

58 grs. of rl-22 with a 150 gr. speer, or 57.5 grs. of H-4831. Quickest killer I've ever seen. Have'nt loaded 130's yet, but I have some 130 core lokt's that I'm going to load up.

RE: Load for .270 Win
 

I just picked up Horady 130 sst for my .270 Browning a-bolt. I will be going Ram hunting in several weeks and decided to try this cart. as oppose to theRemington corelocks. Going to the range and see if they shoot the same. Will I be disappointed?

RE: Load for .270 Win
 

130 gr Nolser BT infront of 45.0 grains of IMR 3031 will put them throught the same hole.
