270 wsm ammo ?
« on: September 27, 2013, 05:57:08 PM »
Any body shooting 150 grain in a 270 wsm? Pos/Cons with factory ammo. Or do you prefer 130/140 grain.

All I shot in mine were 140 accubonds. First rounds I tried and didn't need to look further.

There ya go ... 140 gr seems to be one of the best bullets made for a .270 ...I prefer Hornaday but from what I am gathering from the men on the site I may want to load some of those Accu Bonds ... I had an early start this morning ...just pressed out some bullets for the wife in a 7mm-08 ...pretty funny to wake up and 4am and smell the smell of a freshly opened can of powder  :dunno: :chuckle: definitely getting the itch  :tup:

My xbolt eats up the accubonds. It also shoots lights out with 150 grain partitions. 429 yard one shot whitetail in Montana last year with partitions. :IBCOOL:
If we were supposed to be vegetarian God would have made broccoli more fun to shoot!
"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?

Federal loads or handloads? I have an A-bolt and was really hoping to be able to go back to factory loads when I got it. They didn't work for me.

 That was factory ammo. Shoots fine. At my buddies 600 meter range the 12" gong was hit 100% of the time. Burris ballistic plex scope.
Federal premium ammo.
