I have been using the 170 Gr Speer bullet for almost 40 years, I burn 56 Gr H4831, in my Rifle, with a WLRM Primer, (so that it works well in cold weather also,) this load is allways the first in the chamber, and puts down 9 out of 10 of my animals, it only clocks around 2650 fps, but will out perform any lighter bullet out to at least 200 yds ,
this load has put down around 25 moose, a large bull elk, also lots of deer.
I sight the rifle in for a 140 BT,( the 140 works well past 250 yds), then make sure that I know where the 170 gr shoots, (usually very close to the crosshair at 100 Yds) I am sure that you can figure out the rest.
Good Luck,
More,More, and More. Can ya show us a recovered bullet from one of those 25 dead moose? How much weight retention do you typically get with the 170. Ever get a pass thru. What is the average distance your moose travel after taking a hit. Is the 170 tough enough for a shoulder shot on moose. Last question. When you run out of the 170 speer bullets,what will you use for moose? Also:welcome to the forum, we need more .270 users in the neighbor hood. :lol: :lol:
