RE: bullets for 270?
 

I've tried the SSTs in several calibers and just can not get them to shoot well out of my rifles.
My 270 just loves the Nosler 130 gr Ballistic Tip and the Sierra Game King SPBT 130 gr. And I agree - the 130 gr bullet IS the only bullet for the 270.

i've killed around a 175 whitetails with 140 grn hornady and seirra bullets in my 270's .

RE: bullets for 270?
 

I have been shooting the 140 grain Hornady out of the 270 for a while (years). They are extremely accurate. I have a few thousand of the 130 grain silvertip, and have applied them to elk with spectacular results. Recovered weight is 94 grains. I have not tried the accubonds, and probably never will. I have enough partitions and other designs to keep me going for a long time. I sold the 270 win and went to the 270 weatherby, and have never looked back.

I've been thinking of getting into reloading also and shoot a 270. I haven't seen anyone mention Barnes yet. I buddy of mine use Barnes Triple shocksand really likes them. anyone use these?

Many elk have fallen to the .270. The best ballistic coefficient dictates a 140 grain bullet for caliber. Of Course the Barnes bullets are an exception. Find the bullet you want to use and try as many powders as you can. You will find a powder that pushes that bullet well. Mulies and Elk are both bigger animals than a whiteail, so I would suggest a heavier bullet also. 150 grain at least. Premium bullet advised. That said many have fallen to Remington PSP's off the shelf. If I was spending money on a hunt I would spend the extra cha ching for a premium though. Cheap insurance.

I think they are great. I have several loads for my 7mmx57 and 338-06 now that shoot great.

Hornady bullets put a hurtin on em

RE: bullets for 270?
 

Nosler Partition in 140-150 gr or the 140gr Accubond.
Hornady 140gr Inter LockSpire point BTor 150g interlock spire point.
Remington 140gr CoreLokt Ultra (bonded).

These will all work one elk and deer. Use which is more accurate in you gun I would lean toward the 150 partition but either the 140gr Accubond or Interlock will do the job just fine.

Unless you have a gun that doesn't like 140-150gr bullets I see no use for the 130 bullet weight but mine likes the 140-150 grainers just fine.

RE: bullets for 270?
 

For mule deer......Hornady's 130 interlock

For Elk....150 A-Frames!

I have been reloading for 15 years. I like the sierra spitzer boat tail 150 gr. , but you have to find out what works in your gun. Good luck.
