270 WSM and 140 AB?

FOTIS · Apr 10, 2006

I was thinking of using this bullet in my Tikka T-3 lite.

Any loads out there? Also any experience with on-game bullet performance?

This bullet performs outstanding in my Mod 70 Super Shadow. Here is the load it liked:

140 AB
61.5gn of RL-19
Fed 215M Primer
Win nickle case
Case length - 2.09
OAL - 2.875

I haven't chrono'd this yet due to not having one.

POP, just last weekend I tried the 140 AccuBond in my new Model 70 Super Shadow Camo in .270 WSM. With MR 3100 and RL 19 the groups were not much to talk about, but with RL 22 they were an even inch.

Winchester case
Fed 215M primer
65 grains RL 22
140 AccuBond
OAL 2.835"
Velocity 3087 fps

I have not had a chance to try this on game yet, but hope to change that soon. If it ever quits raining here, I intend to take it hog hunting.

I also want to try the 140 Partitions out on some hogs.

Winchester case
Fed 215M primer
65 grains RL 22
OAL 2.81"
Velocity 3081 fps
Group 0.79"

Did you mean Accurate arms 3100?

I forgot to mention that I've dropped a CA blacktail (dropped dead in its tracks - Search the hunting forum for pics) and most recently a hog. Bullet has performed exceptionally well in my opinion.

I shot a small whitetail buck with a 140 AccuBond at 150 yds with the 270 WSM. The MV was 3175 fps.

I think you got him.

POP, MR 3100 is the same thing as Accurate Arms 3100.

When Accurate Arms first started selling the stuff it was labeled Magnum MR - 3100.
I still have part of an eight pound keg that I am trying in this rifle. My buddies and I bought several kegs when the price was very reasonable.
