bonecollector Report post Posted July 30, 2012 I'm still new to the .270 caliber last year I was shooting the Hornady 140gr SST's. I am looking at the federal 110gr Barnes tipped triple shock rd. any experience with them? Is it too small for coues or just right? 500 yds is max for me. Thanks for any input.

reganranch Report post Posted July 30, 2012 Hey Bone Collector I shot the XP3's winchester ammo through my .270 and they are BA. They have a ballistic tip and a boat tail and a high BC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 30, 2012 Try the federal premium with the 140 accubond. My 270 is the only rifle I do not reload for (I dont shoot it often), but I dont reload for it because there is no way I could better the factory load! I have shot sevral (probably 5 or more) groups that I could cover with a dime at 100 yards with that load. And the Accubond is a GREAT bullet at that speed! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10Turkeys Report post Posted July 30, 2012 Don't know much about factory ammo, truth be told any one of the bullets mentioned would take a deer, I have been playing with the Barnes130 grain TSX in my .270, very accurate. This is a 10 shot group off the bench with a pretty good left to right wind at the Globe-Miami Gun Club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghosthunter Report post Posted August 23, 2012 I did some testing on the Hornady 130gr SST's. They seemed to group really well and after running them through a chrono they were pushing 3186fps. They came in very close to Hornady's claim of 3200fps. Took these rounds out to 800yds without any trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Report post Posted August 24, 2012 Hornady ammo has always worked well for me and is usually what I use to test a new purchase if I don't have reloading dies yet. My .300 win mag would shoot .5 MOA with their 180 Grain heavy mag load. Seems like Hornady 130's shot about 1 MOA for 5 shots in my .270 when I first got it, which is pretty good for that rifle. I'd certainly give Hornady a try. I stick to 130s myself for Coues. I use 130 Hornadys over a max charge of RL22. I think the 110s will have greater wind drift at longer ranges, but I've never actually compared them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghosthunter Report post Posted September 3, 2012 Give the Hornady 130 grns a try. They shot really well in my Brothers .270 Wearherby and after running them through the Chrono, it came real close to Hornadys claim of 3200 FPS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ernesto C Report post Posted September 4, 2012 Where is Lark?? Try Winchester, Remington, Federal, Hornady etc etc. Try them on paper and find out which one your rifle like the most. Ernesto C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
