Well I won a RMEF sponsor riffle last night. It is a Tika T3 270wsm lite. Still ponder what to do with it. I was originally thinking of donating it back to my local chapter but, after fondling it I am starting to like it. Really feels like a nice gun. So any thoughts on this round for western hunting? What is a good all around bullet weight for this round? I just have no experience with this round. I have always used 30 cal or larger. I like Barnes bullets so will most likely work up a load for them. You thoughts on this round and gun will be appreciated.

a guy who uses our cooler shot a bull this year with a 270wsm and barnes. it was about a 300 yard shot and it seemed to do a pretty good job,very little wasted meat.
now when my other buddy (shooting 150 grain bergers,270wsm) blasted a 2.5 year old blacktail at 75 yards the results where pretty much the opposite. not a very fun butchering job :bash:
i think the barnes is the way to go for that hot of a bullet :tup:
btw we'v had excellent results with accuracy(150 berger) out to 1000yards with the tika 270 wsm.

Great gun!! Keep it!

Great gun! Great cartridge! Keep it or doante it to me :tup:

Great gun/caliber, keep it for sure. You might try something like a 150 gr Accubond if they make it in that bullet weight I am not sure. It has been awhile
-
I would definitely keep that gun. Great rifle and great cartridge, IMO. I think a Barnes would be good, anything from 130 to 150 grains, doesn't really matter. Just whichever one shoots the best. The 150 grain Accubond would be a good one to try as well, as Bowhunter suggested.
-
My first choice would be a 130 grain Barnes TSX or TTSX. That's a keeper of a rifle / caliber.

Great gun, I have a Winchester 70 in .270wsm and love it. I have shot deer, bear and antelope with it and used 150 grain accubonds and bergers. I would keep it :twocents:
