130BTs were my std.load in my 270wby and it was my go-to wild boar rifle.
it never disappointed even at rather close ranges where impact vel was easily 3100+
but that was before I was told I needed premiums.

A 270 Wby should push 130 NBT's a lot faster than that, more like 3,350 or so. I'd be concerned about NBT's coming unglued at that speed. Full out you may need premiums.

I'm new to the 270 Wby, working with this one for a friend. So, there's a lot to learn, a lot I don't know.

Modern Reloading by Lee says 3500 fps with 130g bullet in .270 Wtby. with 7828. Haven't tried that in mine yet.

130 NBT at 3,500 fps would probably be a bit too much of a good thing on WT's, etc. I bet a Ballistic Tip at that speed would be a bomb, I wouldn't push one that hard.

Shot a Muley with a 130gr @3500 out of a 270Roy, except the bullet was a Barnes TSX. laugh
I don't know what a 130gr Ballistic Tip would do at that velocity, maybe instant hamburger?
