Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles .270 with 140 Partitions

I would and do use the 140gr Accubond in my .270. It's a good bullet for accuracy, retains weight decently on impact, and is pretty aerodynamically slick. I've never had partitions shoot particularly well in my rifles, but i guess there is no arguing the fact that they kill well. I believe i read that Speer has discontinued, or is discontinuing sales of the Deep Curl line. They seemed like good bullets, but I had heard that their plated construction sometimes lead to them having strange, abrupt, non-linear pressure responses to charge increases.

It's hard to go wrong with H4831(sc) for the .270, but I've had great luck with some of the newer magnum powders like RL23, and IMR7977. My current 140 Accubond load uses 7977, it provided the best velocities along with excellent accuracy.
