my 270 loves the cheapo 130gr federals blue box, though packaging seems to change.

130gr certainly has enough to take down a deer. just figure out what shoots best out of your rifle.

Shoot both to see which one shoots better.
Then go with the one that shoots better.
They both will kill a deer.

JMHO

I harvested a 10 pt. last November with a 130 grain Remington. It did the job for me.

.270 win = 130 gr bullet for deer. I have never considered any other bullet. If I am hunting larger game I break out the 30-06/165 or 180gr.

I'm with zrex on this one deer, especially down here, aren't extremely thick skinned so i think that lighter bullet would be more like an expandable broadhead and cause more damage.....either will work fine though really depends on which one shoots the best with your gun

130 gr is plenty for deer, as far as which load by several and see which your gun likes best.

Heeeeeres your sign....

The 270 was built around the 130 gr. Id say the 50+ deer laid flat by my puny 130 gr cup and core (blue box Federal) bullets musta been a fluke. Sometimes I wonder if some folks have even used the stuff they talk about.

Nope they don't...We see it often, just let the .243 come up, or
the 22-250 for deer, or buckshot...All willl kill effectively...IF the man behind the gun knows what he is doing...

The only cartridge I have used for a LONG time is the .270 Hornady 140 grain BTSP. Try a box or two of different cartridges and see which one your rifle shoots best. IMHO avoid the ballistic tip cartridges and stick with a bonded bullet.

what if he's going after bambis dad?? hahaha
