I shoot 130 partitions for deer. I'm happy with the way it performs.

Each rifle has a particular bullet dimension and weight that it likes. You need to shoot it to see. I would try a quality bullet in 130 and 140 grain and see what your rifle likes.

150 grain partitions if you reload.  If you don't and want factory ammo buy the Winchester Super X with 150 grain. Love them and performance is second to none.   :tup: :tup:

I have used 150 gr. Federal Premium .270 Win. Nosler Partition in the past.  Good stuff !!
It is also available in 130 gr.

Nosler partition.  I have a few  ;)....and buy a box every every time I see them.  Sportsmans Warehouse has them on a regular basis.  I have never had a .270 that didn't like them.  I push mine with H4350.

The best answer will come from asking your gun what it likes. :tup:
