I have been shooting 140 Sierra HPBT's out of my .270 except for elk, that would be a great bullet.. The Partitions would be fine for elk.. Or the Accubond.. Probably what shoots best..

I've used the 130, 140, 150 and 160g Partitions on lots of pigs. Never could see any difference.
The same experience I've had. Animals were all the same level of dead. I've had similar performance and the same results with the 140 NAB. Find a good bullet that shoots from a particular rifle well, then go do about anything needing done.

If you line up bullets of the same caliber but different in weight I'm always surprised at how little difference there is in length. Kinda makes me wonder sometimes if there isn't as much difference as we think.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

Shooters Pro Shop has the 140 Partitions for $15.00. Thanks for the tip. Just ordered some to try. I'll post up after I have the chance to try a few combinations out.

Jim Carmichael loves the 140 Partition out of his .280 Rem.
A do-all load.

I think if I were locked into 140 grainers I'd take the better bc and (in my rifle anyway) better accuracy of the Accubond.
3050fps with a 140 NAB will do most of Aussie and I'd wager most of N. America too?

A 140 TSX and 58.5-59 grains of H4831sc is the mother load for bull elk! Fixed.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/IMG_0934_zpsdmcyjgpa.jpg)

... 140 ttsx is a great load. They don't make the .270 140 gr. in TTSX, but they should! I'd like to see the old 140 gr. TBBCs brought back or even a better BC 140 gr. NorthFork.

I have stated this before, but it harder to find a bullet that will not work in a 270.
We have shot critters with bullets weighing 85gr to 150gr.
I have been playing with 160gr NP's and 180gr Woodleigh's. Just have not killed anything but paper with them.
A 140gr NP or AB should be just fine.

Anyone remember the old herters .270 - 130 grain wasp waist sonic boom bullet scientically designed to increase velocity at 400 yards? My brother shot a ton of elk with it.

Have shot 150s out of my savage 110 for years. Just for whitetails, but it's very dependable and always is a complete pass through. Quarter size exits most of the time.
I've noticed the energy dump isn't the same as a 130 grain NBT. I shoulder shoot alot of deer and the NBT always did more damage but that's by design. The 140 will probably be super similar to the 150s For some reason, I settled on the 150gr. Nosler partition, for a "do it all" bullet as well...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Which weight have you found most accurate in your rifle? Also, what velocity are you getting with your 150 gr bullets?

Well if memory serves me right J OC died before the 140s came along or were popular.

A 140 AB and 58.5-59 grains of H4831sc is the mother load for buck deer! 59gr for me. 57gr for the wife and kids.

I'd expect the 140 Partition to perform somewhere between the 130 and the 150. Well, who'd 'thunk'? < grin> I feel that the 140 gr is a great compromise with velocity & trajectory in the 270. I used the H 140 BTSP when they first came out. Even at 3000 fps I felt they didn't open up enuff on average WT at fairly close range. I haven't used them in a long time so I don't know about their construction and performance today. Knowing the performance of the NP and the AB they would be the cat's "MEOW", imo.

I'd take the 140 AB with the .496 BC, and it ain't a .284.....
