Best Bullet for 130 grain .270 Win?
« on: December 07, 2009, 04:17:22 PM »
So, what is your opinion?  I have been shooting Federal Vital-Shok, off the shelf, out of the box for the past 3 years.  I am happy with them, but am looking at getting into handloading this winter. 
I shoot a Rem 700, in .270 Win.  Looking for a good load and bullet for deer.
WHat do you guys think?

Many will disagree, but I've had great luck with the 130 Nosler Ballistic Tip out of that gun.  For ten years, that was my only rifle, and killed everything from groundhogs to bears with that bullet, and never lost a big game animal.  I wouldn't recommend the ballistic tip for every caliber, but definately a 270 win. :twocents:

Neither my 7mm RM or my 338WM were very happy with the ballistic tips.  Went back to Partitions.  Partitions weren't happy with my 270 in various powder charges, RL19, 4831, other......Never tried the ballistic tips in the 270.
Just goes with what you say kinda, every gun is different and just got try what makes the gun happy.

I handload 130gr Swift scirocco's for my Dad's 270win.  He took a 6point bull with it this year, a cow last year.  Both of my nieces have used it to take cow elk in the last two years.  None of those elk have gone further than 20 yards.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Dont get Hornady Interlocks.  I had some handloaded for my 270 and we got a really accurate load, but they dont seem to penetrate very well.

I have the best luck with the 140 grain Nosler accubond 52.5 grains of H4350.  That bullet retains some serious weight.
enjoy the handloading.

I am glad someone asked this as I am getting ready to start reloading for my .270 also, I bought a nosler reloading manual but was wondering if I was missing out by not buying other manuals? from what Ive read in my manual if I do decide to shoot nosler bullets it will brobably be the 140 grain accubond. ive also thought of buying some ballistic tips just to fling down range as theyre much cheaper then useing accubonds to hunt with.

140 accubonds are what i shoot. But if you want 130's then I'd look into the swift scirocco II.

you cant go wrong with either Barnes TTSX or nosler accubonds. Ive made up lots of loads in searching for the right one and these two bullets have done the best for me, Ive taken game with both and in my opinion the accubond did less damage to the meat, both make um just as dead

Barnes TTSX in front of H4831Sc has proven to be the choicest of choices in my 270. like others have said though, my recipe may not do well in your barrel, search for the right recipe for "you & your gun."
