270 trophy copper or accubond
« on: November 12, 2014, 02:42:04 PM »
Hey I was just wondering  what bullet choice ya guys would use for deer, bear, an elk. Currently use the 130gr federal trophy copper (my gun loves em) but was also  thinking maybe switching to 140 accubond hand loads.

If your gun loves 'em and they are proven why mess with a good thing?

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I had the same thinking you have now. I group cheap winchester great out of my 270. I tried 140 accubonds because everyone talks about how good they are. I could not get them to group better than 3 inches. I started thinking it was me and I was a terrible shot. So I went back to the winchester and my 3 shot groups were touching again. Tried the accubonds again and same thing. I would say shoot what you are shooting now. Dont fix it if it ain't broke.

The 130AB ,140AB and the 150 LRAB shoot extremely well for me using a lot of bullet jump. If I load close the lands accuracy suffers.  :twocents:

There is a lot of talk on reloading forums about bonded/mono bullets and the older style bullets even the partition, It seems for the most part copper/bonded bullets like to be seated off the lands farther than cup and core bullets. But if your not reloading and can't play with length best to stay with what's working, at least until you can range test others. My son has a 270wsm and it won't shoot Barnes bullets but loves AB's so I need to see if seating the Barnes a little deeper will help.

Since I started shooting and hunting with the Nosler Accubond when they first came out. I never had a reason to change, they have been accurate and performed well on deer, bear and elk.

I use the 140 accubond in my .270 win. Wonderful bullet. I have killed a lot of deer and one cow elk using the 140 accubond. Very deadly. I am loading RL 19 powder for my 270.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Barnes Tipped TSX
all copper.  130 grain.  Possibly the best factory load in the world for deer in a .270 win.
