If the 270 Winchester can't do it, it can't be done.

my fav all around caliber

[724wd]

58 gr. H4831 under a 140 gr. Hornady boat-tail  SP with a CCI 250 mag rifle primer in a win/rem case.     aim for the middle, watch them drop.

I have shot 6 Antelope with a 6.5 x 55 loaded with 140gr bullets.  It knocks the crap ot of them!

My .270 Savage model 110 loves 130 Sierra Game King boat tail bullets. I'm extremely comfortable with it out to 300 yards. Tried loading 110s for yotes but couldn't get the accuracy I get from 130s.

I'd say stick with what your gun likes. Good luck!

JEEZ ..NEVER KNEW WE HAD SO MANY .270 SHOOTERS ON HERE  That's why I always seem to be ignored ..Heck I may be liked if I changed bullets ...Maybe some accu bonds    NOT !!!!

I just loaded up 110gr Barnes ttsx for long range coyotes. I shot sub moa. Really impressed. I will be taking it out to the range to chrono it and dial in my turrets to be sent of to get burnt. But from everything I've read my load should put me at around 3400 fps. Ill let you know though. I believe I did 60gr of imr 4350. Ill have to check my records when I get back in town.

[BOWHUNTER45]

I would like to see how those 110 gr perform ... never had much luck loading that light for a .270 ...like your powder choice ...I like IMR 4831 just a touch better for a .270 ..but love IMR 4350 out of my .243 !!!

My .270 and I have three lope tags to fill starting in 16 days (yes, I'm counting the days).  Last time it all worked just fine, shooting factory 130 grain loads.  We'll see if we can repeat.

[Widgeondeke]

When I hunted lopes I used my .243 with Core Lock in 100 gr. In camp we had a .270, 30-06(also used Core Lock), .308 and my .243 They ALL killed animals. The only thing I recall was that the solid brass rounds my buddy shot in his .270 went completely thru and didn't do as much damage. His buck required a finishing shot.
I would not use solid brass. 
Range finder and good glass are the most important items.

I have shot several antelope using my .270 with 140 grain bullets. I have shot them as far as 400 yards and have happy with the performance . I will try again next week.

[WAcoueshunter]

Was thinking about goats and came across this thread.  Only got to shoot three rounds in WY this year with the old .270. 



Nothing longer than about 215 though.

Antelope are small, thin skinned animals. I have killed 64 with various calibers and 15 different bullets at last count.

They are not hard to kill. They can be hard to hit. Accuracy is king. Ballistics come next. A distant third is "on game" bullet performance.

Any caliber and bullet from .243 (22 centerfire in most antelope states) up to 375 will work fine. Pick the most accurate gun/load you have, do some target shooting at 300 to 400 yards if possible, and go hunting.

Had the same rifle in lefty and it definitely has the knock down power from deer, ram to elk. I liked the winchester rounds myself. its dead on for accuracy 100yds and less no problem

Bigger is better
