Any 130 gr load is very likely to perform on a whitetail. My 270's are not finicky.

Accurate depends on what your rifle likes. Since I usually shoot stuff at fairly short range, I worry more about getting two holes for a good blood trail, if needed. Partitions excel at that, as would mono-metal bullets. With any high-speed round, keep your shots out of the meat you want to eat, unless you like it pre-ground, jellied, and filled with bits of lead.

Lots of accurate bullets out there and judging from the thousands of deer killed each year with the 270 most work well. While I have mostly been a c&c bullet user I am thinking of going to a premium bullet in my 270. In my area I am very likely to get shot At a deer well under 100 yds where the impact velocity of a 130 gr could crowd 3000 fps. That's pretty high for a c&c bullet. The partition would be a bit of additional ins in either 130 gr or the 150gr. So I'm thinking of going there.

The Federal .270 150 gr round nose ( blue box) factory load @ 2,700 fPS is a great compromise at woods ranges.

130 NBT and 130 Hornady Intlk have literally put a truckload of whitetails into the freezer for me.

Same here. 1/2" out of my Sako AV Hunter. Got a few factory loads left and a couple hundred component bullets. Gonna try to dupicate that load when the factory loads are all gone. It also shoots 150g Win. Power Points into about 3/4" about an inch directly below the 130g Silvertips.

Shot a friends that kicked like a mule for some reason. Worse than an 06, almost as bad as my 300 wtby.

Shot a few deer with it and it damaged way to much meat for my tastes. The 130 ballistic tips were like hand grenades.

To be fair, loading for a friends father until he passed away, 95 ttsx and I did use that gun last fall in honor of him, to shoot a deer. It didn't do much damage to the edible meat and the deer didn't go very far with a lung shot. The dog was NOT happy it was such a short trailing job.. LOL

A cousin bought one and thought the same, kicks a lot for the round,, more than an 06. And damaged a lot of meat. This with 130 sierras.

Better rounds out there for me. I tend to not monkey in the middle much... either smaller or larger rounds.

Plus Jack O Connor liked it, and I liked Keith. LOL.

Almost the same as a 300 wtby? That seems like a stretch. I have experience with 270 and 300 wm both in a 700 sps platform. No comparison between the two. More along the lines of 308 I would say. Especially with 130 gr.

If I could get the Hornady 150 Interbond to shoot, that would be the only 270 bullet I'd ever need.
