So here's my thought, and I am open to other opinions on my thoughts.
I want to buy as many different varieties of .277 bullets as I can in quantities of 5 or 10. I am wanting to do this in an effort to find out what my gun likes the best as far as bullets goes. So.....does anybody have a hodge podge assortment of random .277 bullets that they would be willing to sell me 5 or 10 from each? This way I wouldn't have to buy 50/100 round boxes of bullets to find my pet load. Not sure that it matters but I will be shooting a CZ 550 in .270 Win

I have a partial box (19) 130 gr. Nosler Ballistic tips. I'll throw in 10 150 gr. Nosler Partitions. They are all yours......gratis.

PM me your shipping info and I'll even pay the postage.

Not what your thinking exactly...

17 - 140 Accubond
71 - 130 bal tip (1sts)
45 - 130 Rem CL
9 - 130 Hornady SP

Instead of trying many types of bullets, you need to try bullets that will fit what your hunting. If its light game your hunting heavy constructed bullets will blow right thru and a deer will go for miles with no blood. It your bullet blows up on a heavy boned animal you lose again. Bullet performance is more important then a tight group, unless your killing paper.

I usually decide on a bullet and powder and load up 5 different groups of 3 to 5 shells. I start with a min load and go up by a 1/2 to a 1 grain more for each group. Go to the range and see if any of them are any good. If that doesn't work I try a different powder. After a few trys I might try a different bullet, thats how I work up a load.

Zike's advise is right on!

good advice Zike. I failed to mention my bullets weights, sorry. 130's is what I'm wanting to go with for whitetail. I currently have 130's in Hornady Interlock and 130's in Sierra Pro Hunter.

I'd be surprised if one of those two doesn't do the job nicely. Both of my 270s will put just about every basic hunting (cup and core) bullet of tried under MOA. Heck, my Featherweight will put 3 130 Win PowerPoints under 1/2 MOA consistently. Before collecting a bunch of different ones, why not load the 2 you already have?

For hunting purposes, which I mostly do, they will all do the trick. I'm sort of a geek though that enjoys reloading. So I'm just wanting to find "the" bullet that my particular gun likes the best, and is hopefully also a successful hunting round and then go with that. Along with finding "the" powder and charge that bullet likes as well. For all intensive purposes, this will not help me with hunting my whitetails. Unless I get the chance to go for elk and are taking 400+ yard shots. Which I may like to work up a 150 grain bullet load for now to be prepared for my elk trip in 10 years

Hard to get the best o.a.l.,
best powder
and best charge of powder
with only 5-10 of a specific bullet.
For deer, the 130NP proved to be very accurate for me and very deadly for the deer. Many others shot well, but then, it is a 270 we are talking about.

Good point Tim, so I guess I'm not a full blown geek and am kind of going about it half @$$. If I got 9 of a bullet, I could roll up 3 rounds of 3 different charges of H4831SC, narrow it down to the best 2 bullets out of that grouping, buy full boxes of those 2 bullets and then do 1/4 grain powder charge increments from there. And as my dad says, that would be good enough for the girls I go out with.

4831 is a good 270 powder.
I normally start out with .030" jump and often end there.
Good luck.
