130 Ttsx by Barnes was very accurate in my son's 270 and did a number on his bear.

I have run some nosler etips with good luck. Nice solid bullet. Had to give them a go when hunting in cali and shot a few hogs and a bear with them.

Not in 270, but 7mm. Have had good luck with both the TTSX and LRX. The LRX has been insanely accurate for me. I've killed 5 animals with them now, they all died... quickly.
I'll add that when you start the load testing process, do a complete copper fouling scrub and then refoul with the all copper bullets. I found that helped my accuracy for testing a lot.

Killed a few and watched another with 7mm 145 g LRX. 3 deer and one cow elk. Good results on all. Accuracy is good, but you have to seat them back .070 - .090 off L & G to get them to shoot.

Try some hammer hunters. Easy to work a load on. Kill great. 100fps fasting then most anything else. I've dumped 3 deer and a bear and have had great results. No complaints at all.

I have a load that I worked up with the 110 ttsx in my .270 pushing almost 3500 fps with Ramshot Hunter. That’s essentially the same ballistics as a 110gr bullet from a .257 Weatherby mag, using Barnes’ published data.
I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot any big game animal in this state with that. The big advantage of copper bullets is that they don’t tend to blow up when they hit bone.

While some might advocate for a heavier round, the 130 grain TTSX in my Tikka 270 have been great medicine for bear the past few seasons. Would have no hesitation to use the same for deer or elk, but I tend to chase those with a lesser weapon during less crowded seasons.
I got into Barnes rifle bullets because of the incredible performance I've had with their muzzy rounds (250 grain TMZ)

I found my 300wm shoots the LRXs really well. .5 MOA on a stock tikka lite. Excited to try them on game. Also following this thread for feedback on performance while hunting.

All I have used are 168 TSX in my 30-06. I get .5-.7 MOA out of my factory rifle and the animals I hit all die, so no complaints other than trying to find some these days.
