what is the best bullet in 270 caliber for mule deer or elk ? this is assuming you do not think the 270 is
is to small for elk. thanks for the information.

I am a Nosler fan so I would go with the 140 grain Accubond. I have some loaded for elk as my backup.

You may want to give the 140 grain accubond a try. The 150 and 160 grain Partitions of are also great rounds if you like the heavier stuff

I'd use 150 partitions... I like a decent amount of penetration on bigger game, and in 270 the 150NP's work well...

I would use the 140 gr. accubond or the 160 gr. partitions

My 270's (Mossberg 810 & Remington 700 Mtn) always shoot noslers really well. I haven't tried the accubonds but the 140 grain balistic tips shoot nice tight groups. If the accubonds shoot as well that should be good for elk, the balsitic tips have done me good for deer in the past.

I have been shooting and reloading 270 win for what seems like 100's of years. I also hunt deer and elk with the gun and it has harvested it's fair share of each.

I am a Nosler fan also, but I have only shot partitions from the gun while elk hunting. But, I shoot the 130 grain variety - if you look up the ballistics on the 130 with the velocity you are able to achieve - I think you will see the advantage.

3000fps and 2597 lbs of energy @ the muzzle
2791fps and 2233 lbs @ 100
2565fps and 1900 lbs @ 200

I have to agree with Sabot, I didn't think a 270 would shoot anything other than a 130 grainer

Are any of you guys fans of the the Hornady SST's? I used the 130 grain SST in .270 caliber (light magnum) this weekend and it did a number on the whitetails I shot. The expansion was unbelievable, the exit wound on both of the doe's I shot where big enough I could almost put my hand through it. I've never shot a nosler through my .270, has anyone compared the SST's with the noslers as far as expansion?

Haven't shot the SSTs or Partitions but the 140gr Accubond has put quite a bit of venison in my freezer with little to no tracking involved.
