I used to shoot the sierras and they did the same thing........the copper would stick to the hide and the lead would schrapnel and destroy everything
.........now were it a 270 wby......different story.
OMG! This thread could get long! So many proponants of the Barnes and Accubonds. Glad you guys have money to burn. They are good bullets, don't get me wrong. For a new reloader, go to Cabelas and get a bag of rough packaged Remington CoreLokts and you'll be surprised at how accurate they are for less than half the price of the so called premium bullets. My local gun shop also carries Nosler Seconds in bulk bin. Great value! Personally, I believe the best bullet for any gun is the one that's the most accurate that provides the most velocity within the velocity rating for that bullet. Every rifle barrel is different. That's for a hunting bullet, not a target bullet. For performance on Deer, I've had excellent success with Winchester Silvertips, Remington CoreLokts, Speer BT, Speer Spzr, Speer Grandslam, Sierra BT, and Hornady BT in .30cal. What do I load for my son's .270win? Speer BT's have been very accurate. He hasn't taken anything with it yet, but I know they'll perform well on game.-Steve
I am surprised. Berger is by far a reloaders dream. Not to mention they open up the range for the 270 win with the high BC of .452 for the 130 grain. The nolser partition is .416, accubond is .435. Berger are about .39 cents compared to .64 cents for barnes.
and should equate to truer flight and tighter groups, but doesn't always pencil out that way based on which gun likes which barrel. I shoot a few different combinations of bullets until I find something that has tight groups. This is why I shoot the accubond. It put together the tightest group of a half dozen different bullets I have tried. I have not yet tried the Berger's in my 270 win or 300 rum, but I plan to this spring. Berger designs bullets that maintain very high balistic coefficients for the weight of the bullet.
