.270 bullets
What's everyone's favorite .270 bullet? I'm wanting something I can use for deer, coyotes, and hogs. I'm not worried bout the coyote fur and will probably get a head shot on a hog. I just started reloading so I haven't used many bullets yet.
|
Right now im shooting a 110 gr hornady v-max with 58 grs imr 4831 and a federal magnum primer for hogs and yotes but im working up a 110 gr accubond load for deer season. Ive had good experiences with hornady sp interlock 140 gr and 130 gr sst. Soon im gonna make up some 140 gr accubonds for big game. The .270 is very fun to reload for and even more fun to hunt with, good luck with it.

I'm shooting 130 gr Nosler BT's in my 270WSM, if I were to switch over to a standard bullet I'd definitely look at the 130 gr Hornady Interlock. Although at 270 Win velocities, I'd also consider the Corlokt for an economical bullet.

Are the v-max pretty accurate?
And Podunk, I didn't say I would use the corelokt in my gun, I said that at 270 win velocities it is an economical bullet. I can't see it not doing what's asked of it on game. |
I shoot the 140 grain Hornady out of the 270 Weatherby magnum. It works great, and holds together at 3400 fps. I also load 130 grain Speer and 130 grain silvertips. They are the old school Winchester. They aren't available anymore, unfortunately. I use the nosler partitions on the big stuff, but they aren't really needed for deer or yotes. Load a few different brands, and your rifle will tell you what it likes.

All three of my .270's shoot well with the 110 v-max it seems to be a great bullet. Reason im shooting hogs with it is because its cheap, accurate and there is little recoil. Most of my hogs are shot in the head/neck anyway. Ive yet to shoot one in the body with the v-max but id try it if it presented itself. The core lokt is an accurate bullet i was just saying it comes apart easily.

Hornady 130 SP. Very accurate, good on-game performance and the price is right too.

X2 mine .270 w/Douglas barrel shoots them like a reload
|
I think I'll try the 130 gr hornady's? which powder is preferred for these? I have some IMR 4064 but will pick a different kind if it is better. My neighbor said I should try varget does this work good for a .270? Sorry for all the questions I'm just starting out and looking for advice. I really appreciate everyone's help.

I like imr 4831 with most of my .270 loads but i am by no means a group shooting accuracy guru.
|
In my Hornady book I show that you can use your IMR4064 at a min of 45.1 gr to amax of 49.8gr . Shows it should be at about 3000 fps at max.
|
What's the difference between the hornady sst and sp?
|
I use 130gr.Nosler BT,and 130gr.Nosler Partitions,but I prefer the ballistic tip.
