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. I"m telling you how it felt to me. But two different rifles.... different stocks, different weights and so on. I"ve never shot a 308 that thumps like a 270, not even when shooting 185 grain and 208 grain bullets... But like I said I"ve only shot the 270 from 2 folks and only a few times and they thumped. I had a buddy that had a Rem 78 in 06. It kicked much worse than my braked 300 wtby did... it kicked almost as bad as my non braked 300 wtby.. To ad, my buddies dads 270 was a rem gas gun, and with 95 ttsx it obviously did not recoil much.

130gr corelokt is all that is needed as long as it shoots accurately in your rifle. my 760 has dropped many whitetails. i can only remember one running more than a few yards and that was because of a poor hit.

I've killed truck loads of deer with the 270 and 140 gr bullets. I've owned a bunch of different brands in 270 rifles. Savages have the worst recoil,remingtons have been second and tikka's have had the least recoil and weigh less. 140gr hornady interlock have been my favorite bullets for 40 years.

A lot of people own 270's. A whole bunch of one gun hunters. I know at least a half dozen.

I have a Tikka T3 Lite Stainless Synthetic. Its crazy accurate with Hornady American Whitetail 130 grain SP Interlocks. Once I replaced the rock hard "recoil pad", it's a downright pleasure to shoot.
There is also a Rem 700 in the safe that shoots the same ammo almost as well, after a couple of hundred dollars worth of gunsmith work.
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

My TC venture isn't picky. I've shot the 130TTSX with great results. But last time I went out I was trying out the CDS and I shot at 460 or 470 yards using the winchester deer xp and shot a group at 4.75" spread. Not bad for cheap ammo.
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

LFD: For the last 15 years or so I have foresaken all other bullets in my various 270 Rifles for the wonderful and amazing Nosler 130 grain Ballistic Tips! It has been easily crafted into VERY accurate handloads and the lethality on Mule Deer, Whitetailed Deer and Antelope is exceptional. Best of luck to you with whichever you choose.

130 gr core-lokt. Turns deer into venison. My Uncles ran these exclusively and shot more deer than I care to count. Everything from five feet to five hundred yards and probably further.
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

If you stick with brand name bullets in the 130-150gr. range its hard to go wrong. I happen to prefer Nosler Partitions buts that's me. If I were to to pick just one .270 bullet to be used on everything it would be the 150gr Nosler Partition.

I start testing any new 270 with federal blue box 130 grain loads. They always run 3050. I have owned a bunch of very accurate 270s. It is very difficult to find any handload that shoots groups that are more than about 25% smaller than that factory ammo. It's really good stuff.

I have also use that load on about 50-60 head of African plains game. It works awfully 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

I honestly don't know why I've ever bothered with anything other than this old dog. '69 PF M70 in Tupperware, DD's, '89 VX-2 3x9.

This was the last time I shot the 270 MT at a target. 2 different groups, bipod/dirt. 2x fired brass and 140 Accubonds/H4831sc(3030fps). The center group was at 400 yards, left one was 469 yards? Kentucky windage.
