Just this week I purchased a Barrett Fieldcraft in 270. Really looking forward to getting the rifle, that said if it was offered in 280Ai I would have chosen that.
I'd stick some 130 grain Ballistic Tips on top of 55 gr. IMR4350 and have that 270 singing on the first outing. I quit worrying about the last available fps.
All through Junior High, High school and college we had a neighbor reload 270 ammo for us. 55gr IMR 4350 and 130gr Hornady IL killed an awful lot of meat.
I did try some of them fancy ballistic tips when they first came out, but they did ruin a lot of meat. Dad talked me into the Hornady's again, meat was important. The rest of the BT's were shot up on prairie dogs.
As soon as I graduated and got my first job, an RCBS reloading kit was acquired and the fun(looneyism) began.
I've loaded the 130 Interlocks with many fine results, still doing so as a matter of fact, but it has been quite a long time since the Ballistic Tips first came out.
