Really is impossible to tell you which one your gun will like better all are capable of good accuracy and harvesting deer. I reload but have shot a fair bit of Factory ammo over the years I always preferred Federal Premium, Hornady Custom and then winchester. Very few have accuracy problems with the Nosler Ballistic Tip so my gut would be try it and pick one of the others for comparison. The SST is very similar to the Nosler Ballistic Tip. The Sivertip is similar to a corelokt, unless your talking about the Ballistic Silvertip which is a Nolser BT justdipped black with a grey nose. The Partiton is a great bullet, especially if close shots or shoulder is your aim point.

Good luck

I use Federal Vital-shok with 130gr Sierra GameKings in my 270. They give awsome accuracy and good wound channels. It shot them better than even hand loads. But the Nosler Partions are good. I use them in my 06' because they hold upunder high velocity and, still mushroom well at range. Are you talking about the Winchetser Ballistic Silvertip or the old style Silvertip?I never could bring myself to try the Polymer tips on big game.

I have the weatherby vangaurd 270 and i use the federal fusion 130gr. I put 3 round through the 1 inch red dot without touching the outer edge of it.........could cover them with a knickel. I impressed myself.

Crew Dawg the 270 win produces higher velocity than the 06!Same parent case just necked down to .277 dia bullet(270 win)vs .308 dia. bullet(06').It works well in the 270 it should do just the same in the 06'.

hornady innerbond

Hornady period!

Really messed one up w/ 130 grn one time. Heart was split in two and mush. Lungs were too. Everything else was in tact. Good entrance, even better exit!

Did EXACTLY what I wanted it to. Deer ran maybe 30 yds after a 8' vertical jump upon "impact". :D

if you are going to hunt whitetails you should just get winchester powerpoint 150 grain they are about 14 dollars a box of 20 and sure do a get job on deer unless you have some money i wouldn't suggest buying federals

RE: what .270 ammo would ya recommend?
 

When I had a .270 - I've since sold it - I used PMC 150gr, rem Core-lokt130gr, and some federal premium 130gr (on sale!). All killed deer. Usually bought core-lokts.

don't think it matters most of the time - .270 is a pretty potent round. I use a muzzleloader now, but have a real jones for a Marlin 336....

RE: what .270 ammo would ya recommend?
 

For local deer hunting for me,Remington Corelokts.For the bigger bucks of the northwest Federal premium Barnes X bullets.In both instances 130 grains.

MV out!

RE: what .270 ammo would ya recommend?
 

I had a Weatherby Vanguard .270 several years ago and it loved the Winchester 130 grain ppsp's.The deer hated them,though.;)


It hated the silvertips and the balistic charts at bthat time showed the 130's had more energy out to about 300 yards or so than the 150's.
There are many different brands of ammo to choose from now so this info may be useless.


I do know this,my 7mm-08 LOVES the Winchester 140 grain ballistic silvertips.The damage to deer is perfect.My 12 year olddaughter shot a bb at 140yards,right through the lungs and didn't hurt a single bit of meat.

RE: what .270 ammo would ya recommend?
 

Skeeter, i understand all that. I just use the Game kings in the 270 and, the NPs in the 06' because that is what they shoot best. Any time i get a new gun,i try every factory and handload i can.
