New BT load, performance on game?

[300WSM]

Essentially if it's whitetail deer or larger, I'll use a premium bullet as long as I can push it fast enough for reliable expansion, though I haven't dabled in mono's much. I think they're too much for whitetails around my neck of the woods. Also, the smaller the diameter gets, the more emphasis I place on a good bullet. Like my .35 Rem just plain works with about any cup & core bullet. The velocity and diameter is perfect for cup & core & fancy isn't needed.

Sadly.. because Remington annoys me...
Regular old Green box corelokt 200 gr RN are tough to beat for whitetail

That's a fine reason!

I shot some 360 Buckhammer 180 & 200 grain Remington ammo. The 180 gr ammo was seriously consistent with single digit SD figures. The 200's weren't as good, but were just fine. Then I handloaded some 200 gr Hornady RN bullets in it and wow! Excellent results. Sadly, haven't even aimed it at a game animal yet.

I love me some 200gr Hornady RN's out of my .35 Remington. They just work! Great blood trails if they don't drop them.

I don't think you have anything to worry about with the B T 130 grain 270 bullet ,I have seen way to many killed with that set up from about every angle a deer can be killed in .Simple put that bullet and rifle combo Just works .....

Truthfully I'd be willing to bet the .270 with a Ballistic Tip bullet has killed more whitetail than any other caliber with a Ballistic Tip bullet.

The only exception might be the odd six.

BUT...

In my observation...
the 30-06 shooter seems more inclined to load the Interlock bullet from Hornady..or Interlock type of bullet rather than a ballistic tip.

I know many shooters of each and probably 65 percent of the 270 shooters I know use a BT bullet...

and it's probably 75 percent of the 30-06 shooters using an interlock type bullet. Game King, Speer sp, Hornady Interlock...


In other words you will be more than fine with the BT in your 270

What is the rifle might I ask

The 150bt in my 7mmRM has been my go to bullet for two decades. I have never recovered one from probably 30 plus red deer. They are super accurate and a fantastic bullet.
