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

I think that bullet could be sneaky good. Actually in the midst of trying some American Whitetail ammo in mine. If it shoots and the numbers line up, $17/box would be no fuss no muss, one and done, shut the gate, pack your bags, and [bleep].....

Misspelled "fogetaboutit". Man, so sensitive around here....

I will keep my 270s with their 130s, 140s and 150s, thanks.

That 140 load clocks 2860. Plenty good enough!

Nothing wrong with a 280, but I have 270s and 7mm-08s. Any 280 I ever owned was purchased with the sole principle of buying low and selling high.

the hornady vmax are just as good and for the same price u get 100 ,with nosler u get 50

Was not aware Hornady made a .270, 140gr Vmax?

They do make a 140btsp and it's a fine bullet, not as fine as a partition though.

I'm wanting a 150'ish, .545'sh BC ELD-X..

the partitions he is talking about are bts also. no they do make a spritzer in 140 gr,do not believe they did years ago ,thats how long its been since i used nosler. i use hornady,sierra,and speers. no actually its the sierra that does not make a 140 gr spritzer for the 270

The 140 is the compromise bullet for those that can't decide if they should use the 130 or 150.
Fence sitters, tweeners.

You're full of schit too.

16 Bore.


P.S. - I like 260's.

A 270 NPT with a boat tail?

130, 140, 150, 160. Go with what shoots the best and don't sweat it. Even the not-so-pointy 160 has a BC of 430-something and can be pushed over 2800 with a couple of powders. Not too much for deer at all, kinda like a 7x57 that went to the gym.

Nut - you are correct - never heard/seen a NP bt.

thomasgajan - what's a "spritzer" ?

its what u add to a drink especially when u can not spell but still drink sir know it all,must be such a drag to be perfect. i know its spitzer,but sometimes an r jumps in there when i want a drink

Me too! ME TOO!

....but we're dreaming. We all know the 270 isn't a long range cartridge!

the site has not changed much,i left just before ken howell because of being harassed by people who knew little and had no credentials at all. long range is a matter of ability first,then optics,then velocity and energy. depends on what u are hunting.

I'm not sure if you're referring to my statement, but I wrote it with some sarcasm, hence the smirk.

On a serious note, I agree with you regarding long range.

I guess I forgot to add the smiley emoticon.

I was jokin...ifin you didn't know.

Well, it is a drag to be perfect.

Bump for more 140gr info.. 140 Partitions have killed and shot so well in the .260,6.5CM,7mm-08rem that I'm veddy veddy interested in loads/velocity info for the 140NP also.

Boring old gay .270 is slowly growing on me. fk

Has anyone used these yet? I think I can get 3157 fps out of a 24" barrel.

This said, can anyone get the 140 gr. A-Frame or Partition to 3050 FPS out of a 24" barrel? This would have the same ballistics as my 300 win mag with a 180 gr. load at 3050 fps too.
