270
 

To those of you who own a 270 what grain bullet do u use for deer hunting? do you have a reason or did u just pick that bullet and stick with it.. i use 150 grain.. no problems yet dont seem to be " over kill " or anything. Should i change or stay with the 150 grain.. also who uses cor-lokts ( spelling ? ) and what grain do you use in those

130 grains. Can't go wrong, check the ballistics at remington.com

I use 140 grain Hornady Lt Mag BTSP.....best cartridge I have ever used.

Im shooting 130gr Winchester Silver Tips, I also have a few boxes of 150gr Fusions I need to try sometime. Haven't hit anything yet, but I'm about to unleash on some groundhogs [8D]

i use a 130 gr. i think 150 is gunna be too big.

My son and I shoot 140 gr Win Supreme Accubonds in our 270's and have killed 30+/- deer with them, but I shot 150 gr bullets for years and killed 50+/- deer without losing a single animal.

I am curious why curth83 thinks 150 gr is going to be too big?!?

RE: 270
 

maybe im wrong but it seems to me 150 isnt too big at all.. larger rifles usually have bigger grains for the same animal? dont they.. though i have only shot 5 deer with my 270 usuing 150 so i cant speak alot there have dropped 3 and other 2 went less than 20 yards.. one of the ones i dropped was from 220 yards..

I shoot Remington 130 in my 270 with alot of success. . Shooting 150 isn't too big.

I've used a 150 gr. also but my .270 seems to prefer the 140 gr. bullet. The ballistics are a little faster and flatter shooting.
