My current favorite load for my old Husky is a 110 gr TTSX over 63.3 gr of Hunter with a CCI 200 in WW cases.

I was impressed this spring by a 140 gr Accubond pushed by a heavy dose of IMR4831. It hit a decent boar black bear right in the near shoulder joint at 67 yards. The nose and most of the middle portion of the bullet is gone but the jacket and base are intact. The bear dropped at the shot. The bullet didn't exit but impressed me with its toughness.

Another load that I sometimes use out of a bear blind (took a sow a few years ago with it) is a bit odd but very accurate and effective at close range. I use a Woodleigh 180 gr over 53.5 gr of H4831. It chronied 2388fps out of a Rem 700 with a 22" barrel.

I'm partial to a 270 so I play with 'em a good bit.
