I used to run the 90 Sie Hp quite a bit, with this new barrel I might just build a nice youth load around it again for my G-kids to get after it with.
And the 160, I have a thing for it and it'll do it's job quite well. The 140 Horn has been very good to me and pretty always quite accurate in most rigs. Same with the 150 Horn.
And of course the NPT's in any weight are pretty much rock stars from where I sit.
Heck of a nice round, thinking that Mac has a bumper sticker I made up years ago. Went sort of like this, "if you don't have a .270 then you don't have caca"

Nobody has dropped off a stock lately.... But you are right, and so was P.T. Barnum...I'm gonna go sell lots of .270s.....

You are right on with the bumper sticker, Dober...years ago I bought a .270 and it stunk like caca.

Dober I never tried the 140 Hornady, I was out after 130 Speers several years ago and Charlie said I'll make a deal on the Gamekings and guaranteed they would work. He was right I guess I have caca but in a good way.

From the recent discussions on the .243 and 7mm Rem Mag having pressure swings causing the SAAMI max pressure limits on those two to be down from 65K, the .270 cranks along at 65K without issue. DF While the ol .270 Win is just great for you old guys , I have yet to hear about this "pressure swing" issue with the .243 Win and 7mm Rem Mag. I understand you old fellas want to just keep killin with the .270 Win but let�s not go overboard in the enthusiasm. I guess those pressure swings are not too unlike mood swings with PMS. Long on theories, short on hard info as to why those things happen. Maybe the .243 and the 7mm RM are of the female persuasion... DF

Mule Deer set me on a load with a 140 grain Hornady spirepoint over 58 grains of H4831SC. Hornady says 2,900 FPS, I get a little more.
PERFECT.

David-I've used 57/H4831 with a 140 Horn for a long time incredibly tough combo to beat.

57/H4831 sounds right for the Gameking too.

Like I always say, it aggravates folks cause they think they found a better mousetrap but the rest of the world just doesn't listen.Game keeps piling up by the score.............and the 270 rolls on....................and on................................and on..................and on. LOL! So, they call it names,curse,swear................Funny as hell to watch it all. It's like a broken record...the 270 vs (insert cartidge here). Much like the Partition, been around for a long time and it works...a hard pill for some to swallow.

The .270 can beat up Chuck Norris.
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

I finally got an email reply from Moochelle. She agrees with Ingwe on this question.

My 1958 Model 70 FWT in .270 is perfect: That's one heck of a nice M70! Dober

PERFECT. I'm loading 59 grains of H3831sc with 140 Accubonds and get about 2950fps/22". MAX load disclaimer... 58 grains and a 135 SMK matches perfectly for a practice load.

Rumor has it that the 135 SMK will do well on carp deer as well... Dober

I'm looking forward to range-time this spring with the 270.
My 270 only has a few rounds through it, but 58.0 H4831 is putting 150 NBT's into small groups at 2,900 fps.
Looking forward to trying 150 NP's and a variety of 140's as well.
If there's a better all-around bullet than the 150 NP in the 270, I can't imagine what it is.
