Favorite 270 bullets

[REDGREEN]

140 grain Hornady bt has worked well for me for years. I also have a huge stash of the 150 grain Nosler solid base and Partition. Also use the 150 grain Speer hotcore. The 140 Hornady has flattened a pile of elk and deer and holds together well.

Just added up the bullets mentioned so far and it is quite a list.
150 gr Partition - 5
130 gr Partition - 4
140 gr AccuBond - 3
130 gr AccuBond - 3
130 gr E Tip - 2
130 gr Ballistic Tip - 2
130 gr Speer Hot Cor - 2
130 gr Sierra Flat Base - 2
90 gr Speer TNT - 1
140 gr Sierra BTSP - 1
140 gr Trophy Bonded - 1
140 gr Hornady BTSP - 1
150 gr Solid Base - 1
150 gr Ballistic Tip
150 gr Sierra BTSP - 1
150 gr Speer G.S. - 1
150 gr Speer Hot Cor - 1
150 gr Bitteroot - 1
150 gr Oryx - 1
160 gr Partition - 1

That is quite a range from 90 - 160 gr but not surprisingly 130 gr and 150 gr bullets are very popular. I thought the 140 gr bullets would have a bit more users since they seem like a great all around bullet. It appears that there are many great 270 cal bullets out there that just plain work.

Favourites:

270 Win = 140gr AB
270 WSM= 140 gr AB
270 Wby = 90 gr Sierras, 100 gr Sierras, 110gr TTSX's, 130gr NP's and 140gr AB (This is a rechambered Browning B-78 that loves the above bullets in handloads, except for the factory 130 NP load from Federal)

My .270 WSM spits out 130 AB into 1/2" groups. I've never felt the need to look for a different bullet. If I were to take it hunting for something elk sized or larger I might look to a 150 g or larger bullet. For now though I will keep piling up deer with it.

I shot a couple deer with the 130 Interbond at 3325 from my 270WSM. They never moved. Impressive killer.

I've used quite a few 270 bullets over the years but I guess my safe haven is the 130 Nosler Partition.

I like something cheaper for shooting practice and use Speers and Sierra's for that.

140gr Ab and 150gr PT for premium bullets for the weatherby.
