Thanks for all the inputs, gents. Rifle is shooting them very well and at least I know in a pinch I can go to the nearest Wal Mart and get ammo that works!

At 18.50 a box at Academy, you really can't beat it if your rifle likes them. Naturally, being the OCD type, I just ordered some 130 TTSXs and looking on the Barnes site for load data. Anybody?

Jorge, the last buck I shot was shot with a power point. They work great on game animals..

I have found the 180 Power Points to give very good accuracy in my .30-06 (Winchester 70 Stainless Classic).

I use them in my 06 as well for deer and hogs, the box says "deer and antelope" but I'm sure they would work on elk out of an 06 or a 270.

Here you go, rifle and (NOSHIT!) target, three shots w aforementioned Winchester Power Points: Pathetic. Your only chance to reclaim your manhood from the ownership pf a .270 is to sell it to me. I'm a giver. Price negotiable, as long as it's less than what you paid.
If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated

Here you go, rifle and (NOSHIT!) target, three shots w aforementioned Winchester Power Points: haha! Hilarious Jörg! Very nice! Everyone knows pre 64's don't shoot and the new rifles are "better"......snork.. And with a tired old 4X scope no less......
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

Actually, it's a kind of deer. It's a Bushbuck.

I don't think so. Taking my Mauser action 300 Weatherby and my pre-64 custom 338 as second rifle.
