Ok i looked it up...140 grain accubonds measure at .496...WHICH IS CRAZY GOOD!

Best Balistic cofficiency for a 270.

and the barnes TSX 140 grain is .404, there 130 is higher....(.431)..both being a lower BC...which means in return that it isnt as perfect

BUT REMEMBER THIS IS SO MINUTE THAT ANYTHING OVER .350 IS A RELIABLE HUNTING BC. ANYTHING OVER .400 IS BETTER..AND WELL .496 IS CRAZY! LOL...

OH AND THE PARTION 150 GRAIN IS .465 the 140 partition is lower at .432....JUST FACTS.....lol...

but remember this also...its all about what your gun likes spitting out...if it groups one better than the other..pick that one...lol

GOOD LUCK MAN!

The average hunter does not hold a good enough group past 300 yards to consistently put a killing shot on a bear with any caliber. :twocents:
Almost forgot to add, try to get the vitals and break at least one front shoulder and you will do OK. :twocents:

AGREED! Hands down....

Oh and for an actual answer.....stick with a 140 grain bonded bullet( because of weight retention and higher BC, a bonded bullet will retain over 20% more of its weight than other none bonded bullets) and IMR4831...NO short cut..i have tried both and for some reason my gun doesnt like the short cut 4831.

My dad uses a win. model 70 in .270 with 140 Acccubonds.-Great on Bears out to 300.
Great caliber if shot placement is right.

yep good point bearpaw about tryin to break one of the shoulder but always go for vitals first and try to break the opposite shoulder. i have shot the barnes but i had very poor results on paper with them and the only bullet i have ever shot that i have seen key hole and they were doing it at 100 yards as well not sure what was up i only use there handgun bullets now and muzzle bullets

A lot of times you may have to step down a weight when switching to a Barnes TSX or similar. They are less dense than lead, which means they are slightly longer...which can affect stabilization depending on your rifle and twist rate. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though, because the performance of said bullet will allow you to step down to a slightly lighter bullet and still get superior performance...and a flatter trajectory.

Also, if you load your own ammunition, try to give them a .040-.060 jump off the lands. They seem to be a bit finicky until you find the right OAL for your rifle...when you get it right, you'll surely know it.
I left it better than I found it...did you?

I use 130 g Accubonds.  However, the Barns X bullets are hard to beat too.
