Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Old 270 best of Best Bullit

Ive killed a lot of deer with a 270. Hornady interlocks. One jumped and run, hit in butt, bullet under skin at base of neck. One was coming dead towards me, hit in chest, bullet was a lump under the skin on the butt.

I needed real long range and got a 270 wby. Bro got the schnable post 64 fwt which didnt kick much. Killed 4-5 bull elk with it.

His 5 girls all used it killing wtails, hogs and fall turkeys growing up. There aint a big fat gal in the bunch.

This is one of those threads where I miss BobInNH being around.

RIP....

A fresh update, I tried some factory loaded ballistic tips at 100 yards last Friday.
140 BT loaded by Nosler 3 shots for 1/2"
130 BT loaded by Federal Premium 3 shots for 1/2"

I'll have to experiment with these at different ranges, if one can beat my Federal blue box at 400 yards on the same day, I'll have a new favorite deer load.

I wish that 110 TTSX Federal load was still around.

Thats some unreal shooting, Sam. Dayom. SOB. I wish i could do that.

It must have been a lucky day!

Whitie ain't too finicky either.

Can anyone with experience coment on the $25.00 box of Federal 130gr Fusion

and for me 140 Sierras

I don't either... I love DD's;)

The hardest part of finding the right 270 bullit is reading all the information on the internet. Which one is the best is for all of us to chime in and tell us what is best for our rifles. Some are better than others but the cup and core are here to stay

Why spend a lot of money because someone says a premium bullit is better than the cup and core for White Tail Deer

I load 150 partitions in my 270's, one, they're very accurate, and two, still hunting the sides of hills and thick creek bottoms I most always fire at fleeting, or at the very least alert deer on a hard angle.

I may have to go into the guts tight against a ham to get up and into the vitals, but agree, a deer out browsing broadsided, a 130 factory loaded core-lokt will kill another 10 million.

A cup and core 270 will work 100% of the time on broadside chest shots. It will work on 99% of all shots. It's the 1% where you need a bonded,partition, or mono Barnes type bullet.

Correct, and being a pea brained half percenter, I can't let that 1% go.

RH makes a good point. However the way I see it is, you can find Nosler partitions at SPS all the time for cheap. Why buy anywhere or anything else????? The last 200gr. 30 cal partitions I bought from them were $13.45/50 and I took both my buck and bull last year with those bullets. I can't remember off the top of my head what I paid for the 500 150gr. partitions, but it was well worth the money. You can do a lot of practicing with your hunting bullets and loads this way.

As a matter of fact, here you (not you RH, but those that don't buy there bullets here) go:

$17.20/bag 150gr. nosler partitions

I like keeping chit simple and use only this bullet in my 270. Works for anything (even elk and moose) at any sane shooting distance too...

Good grief that's stupid cheap. Good thing they aren't cool anymore.

Back in the 1970's/early '80's a Savage 110 .270 was my only rifle for about 10 yrs. 150 gr. Noslers did the trick on about a half dozen moose, 1 elk and 1 black bear. 130 Hornadys collected a pile of white tail & mule deer - not to mention a truck load of 'yotes.

Probably could have stuck with that rifle for my entire hunting life but other, more exotic offerings lured me away........

Me too,cause I don't know of any case where that bonded,partition,or mono won't work.I'll always pick the bullet that will work always in all situations over the one that will work most of the time in most situations.
