CouesWhitetail Report post Posted September 11, 2012 130 grain hornady SST is what I use. They don't group quite as well as the older Hornady 130 grain spire points I used, but OH MY GOSH they are devasting on a deer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WildernessMark204 Report post Posted February 18, 2013 I know this is kinda a stale thread, but I LOVE the .270 Win, and I didn't see anybody mention the Custom Ammunition from Nosler, specifically with 130gr accubonds. I get slightly above 3000fps average out of a 24" Rock Creek barrel on a semi custom model 70. 1/2" groups and I'm sure the rifle can do better (the guy pulling the trigger is the limiting factor-me!) great, great, great 500 yard rifle cartridge, shooting a 140 or 150 bullet you will only get 350 yard accuracy, and you'll need to find a bullet that expands well at low velocity. I've only ever tested 130grs, and only hear from reputable shooters that they go to a heavier bullet for elk at closer range rather than using a .30 cal or bigger better magnum. Just my .02!

forepaw Report post Posted February 19, 2013 bonecollector, ' Federal has discontinued their factory load using the 110 TTSX at 3400 fps. Not sure why, but the velocity can be duplicated using Re17. forepaw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherman Report post Posted February 19, 2013 When I shot factory ammo I used good old Remington core lock never had one walk away and the .270 works best with 130gr IMO that is the best load with our breaking the bank. But now that I reload I use 130 gr sat awesome little bullet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted February 19, 2013 When I shot factory ammo I used good old Remington core lock never had one walk away and the .270 works best with 130gr IMO that is the best load with our breaking the bank. But now that I reload I use 130 gr sat awesome little bullet I also shoot the Rem Core-Lokt 130 gr. At $20 per box, I can shoot more. Groups well out of my Rem 700 and works well on deer. I am comfortable out to 400 yards....500 yards if conditions are perfect. Longer range would require something with a higher BC. I'd like to try a premium ammo, but keep buying the $20 Core-lokt.
