We all know Bob loved the 130's and for good reason. I also agree with some of the others that said, use what shoots best in said rifle. Really, there's probably not enough difference in these bullet weights to even tell the difference on game, at any sane shooting distance...


For sure. Couldn't agree more. For normal ranges you cannot pick a bad one from the 270's. I kinda gravitate towards the 150's as I have a slew of them and BBC's to go along with them, but have been shooting the 130 Tipped TBBC in my little Featherweight. Wouldn't even blink about using it for just about anything.
