I would love 150 but have never seen it on a shelf anywhere.of any kind.What kind do you have and where did you get it? Please.
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.

Usually have always ran 130 grain sierra game kings or 130 grain berger classic hunters in the 3200 fps range, killed deer and elk just fine don't use off the shelf much but have done well with winchester supreme 130 ballistic tips.. Stay away from Hornady superformance shot like garbage out of our 3 .270s!
superformance ammo was not accurate out of mine either.

Is it me or is Tulalip Cabelas lacking in the Rifle ammo department? Every time I go there they have a crap selection for the calibers I shoot.

Picked up some Nosler 130gr Accubonds, Barnes 130gr TTsx, 130gr remington core lokt and 150gr remington core lokt. Gonna shoot that thing tomorrow and see what she likes best.

I did not do a break in with this barrel at all, I just shot it right out of the box and it flat shoots. I think my wife may be sharing this little jem with me after today and maybe we need a 7mm-08 to add to the collection ;)
Post by: magnumb on September 18, 2015, 08:50:24 AM
picked up a Ruger American .270 for the wife and im wondering what grain bullets work well out of the .270? it will be used for deer and maybe elk hunting. im going to sight it in this week.
The 'bolded' part of your above post is the reason for my 'good choice' comment in my earlier post. Elk are truly tenacious animals and these solid copper bullets don't discriminate. They just don't take prisoners.
However, if elk were to be hunted as frequently or moreso than deer in your future, I would recommend using the TSX instead of the TTSX. You will get the same great terminal results on deer, but the non-tipped TSX works well on elk as their thick hides will serve as the medium for the expansion that the TSX's were specifically designed for as opposed to the TTSX's that allow for more immediate expansion on the much thinner hides of deer on down.
Thanks for the results you posted and that same accuracy using the TTSX's has now become a expected result during my range sessions. On deer, that particular bullet has no peer........IMO.
Good luck!

Tipped Tsx streamlined polymer tip to initiate rapid expansion and boost ballistic coefficient, improving long range ballistics. Multiple grooves in the shank reduce pressure and improve accuracy. Nose peels back into four petals that open to double diameter destroying tissue, bone, and vital organs for quick kill.
Are these a ballistic tip type round? Are they not like the untitled Tsx bullets that retain weight?
Now I'm pissed because I wanted the Tsx style bullet that retains weight. I've killed big elk and moose with those and they go down hard. I thought the tipped Tsx bullets were just a newer style.
Would the accubonds be better to take along in case of an elk hunt?

Are they not like the untitled Tsx bullets that retain weight?The TTSX (Tipped Triple Shock X bullet) is what its name indicates: a tipped TSX. It is designed to essentially retain 100% of its weight like the non-tipped TSX bullet. The plastic tip is intended to initiate expansion of the bullet petals a bit quicker than the non-tipped version. They are a newer style with similar characteristics and performance to the TSX bullet.

The best answer will come from asking your gun what it likes. :tup:
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.
^^ I'd start cheap and work my way up from there. Try Core Lokts, Power Shoks, etc. I usually use Power Shoks and they group well enough out of my guns. I don't see the need for $4/cartriges unless you're shooting match. :twocents: :twocents: :twocents: :twocents:

Magnumb had me a bit concerned for a minute. Hopefully we will be posting some critters here soon that have fallen to the .270 and the ttsx rounds. I'm happy so far with the groups and I'm sure the knockdown power will be just fine. Heck my stepdad kills elk with a 243 on a regular basis and they always fall over dead for him.
How would anything in my post have you concerned for even a second....? Is there some statement in any part of my post that was either misleading or hard to comprehend.....?
Please clarify.......thank you.

Nothing major here just me second guessing the ammo I had purchased. The comment about the immediate expansion made me think that the ttsx bullets were some new fangled ballistic tips or something. I am not a reloader and nor am I going to pretend to be a bullet expert.
I have used the tsx bullets in the past with great results and that is what I wanted for this gun.
Cabelas has a crap selection for ammo and this is what i got. sorry if I offended you, nothing personal. Your comment made me think I had purchased some sort of ballistic tip bullet.

It'll be fine for you steelywhopper. They designed it for longer ranges when the velocity would drop. The TSX wouldn't open up quite as desired on the 500 yd + shots. So instead of switching over to the LR series, they made the TTSX that would open up TSX style at lower velocity. It won't 'explode' like the lead core, but should be opened up like a TSX before a normal TSX would.
This makes me feel better. Thanks

You don't have to be a bullet expert, handloader or whatever to take 5 minutes to read the manufacturers description. To be so confused to cause yourself such an anxiety attack tells the whole story as do the comments telling you to 'just relax'.
Had you put out the least effort that one can do to find out the specifics of each of the bullets you chose, your thread would have been reduced by 4/5's and your panic attack thinking that somehow you had chosen a 'ballistic' type bullet would never have occured.
Do your homework first as is only prudent and responsible, rather than what you obviously chose to do. You don't need to be a handloader or bullet expert to accomplish any of the above. You just have to be able to read and comprehend no more than a paragraph of the english language.

Can't imagine any responsible hunter purchasing bullets, loaded or otherwise, without knowing or reviewing thoroughly each and every bullet that he/she was contemplating using on any game animal. Barnes site offers clear, concise, easy to understand descriptions of each bullet they produce. Even the most 'Nervous Nellie' could have had any and all concerns alleviated by just reading the descriptions of any bullet you were thinking about purchasing.while I agree with this statement I do not agree with your thoughts on the use of the ttsx on elk sized game, I believe it to be every bit as tough as tge regular x bullet as they both retain virtually all of their weight. The ttsx is probably a slightly better choice for longer range shooting to the poly tip giving it a slight edge in b.c. and a little bit better expansion over the regular tsx. Besides those two points I think they are both great choices for elk inside 300 yards out of the .270. Im a partition guy myself nowadays but I'd like to try those 110 grain ttsx at 3400 fps out of my gun and I really wouldn't hesitate to shoot an elk with them either.

I don't disagree with any of your post. The TTSX's, no matter their overall terminal effectiveness, were designed to initiate faster expansion on thinner skinned game (deer on down, as I stated earlier). The goal/purpose/design of the 'tipped' TSX was to immediately initiate the mushrooming qualities of that particular bullet, albeit ever so slightly, on thin skinned game animals so as to cause a bit larger wound channel from entry through exit. A TSX on deer will not open up nearly as quickly, if at all, if bone or tough internal parts are not in the bullets path.
On the other hand, the thick and tough hide on an elk works essentially the same way as the tip of the TTSX's was designed to do. There is no need for a TTSX on elk because expansion starts on impact with the TSX's given these elk hide qualities.
It merely comes down to hunter preference when using either of these Barnes bullets on deer or elk. They will both certainly do the job, but Barnes didn't add the TTSX's to their line-up for no reason and it wasn't based solely on the minimal amount of extra BC it adds to the TSX.......IMO.
Good huntin'.........
