It's a little skinnier than the 7mm 139 BTSP. Same same?

Can't figure there would be much if any difference. Don't know why more 270 shooters don't load a 140gr instead of a 130gr?

It's my favorite "cheap" bullet. It shoots great and kills smaller stuff well, but I wouldn't use it on elk. I had a core separate on an antelope at 360yds. Impact, probably just under 2k fps. Great shooting bullet, but I use Partitions for elk.
I think, therefore I am, conservative.

.07" diameter isn't going to make any difference in the real world.
+1 on Partitions for elk in the .270.

That was the only bullet I hunted with for a few years. I found a few in elk.
Usually against the off side hide.
YMMV.

Came across some older threads praising them (.277 140 BTSP) right along with the rest of the Interlocks. Regarding elk, the deadest I've seen got that way from a 140 Ballistic Tip from a light-loaded 7-08, bang-flop. Nonetheless can't argue the high praise for the 270W with 150 Partitions for elk. Will have to try them.
As ever, appreciate the input.

Haven't used them on game but I have had at least two 270s that did not shoot them very well, at least nowhere near as good as 130 or 150 flat base bullets

My brother did not like the expansion he was getting with 130s. They were tearing up a lot of meat. He went with the Hornady 140s and got great performance without a lot of meat damage.

If you're gonna shoot 140's, you might as well use a 280!

As ever, appreciate the input. You may want to talk to 79s here after his daughter plows a moose with her 270 loaded with that bullet. I've always really liked the interlocks and have found they work great on deer and elk in the larger calibers. Sorry, no feedback about the 270 and 140 however. I loaded some 150gr. partitions for this years elk hunt, since there's no guessing with that one  ... Good luck with your hunts..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

They are headed out today to try to find Bullwinkle I'm hoping I can report back with good news tonight or tomorrow 
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

We have used the hornaday 140 tbsp plain bullet no interlock in about 7 270's and a couple wsm's. This bullet shoots when nothing else will . We have killed several elk and it holds together very well. Found most of them in the offside hide. Most accurate bullet in most rifles we have tested.

Fred Never heard of a tbsp. (tablespoon??) bullet that isn't an interlock. Is that an old design??

If you're gonna shoot 140's, you might as well use a 280! I am inclined to agree I have buddies that shoot 270's and one like me that shoots a .280. If there is any difference other than shear opinions on bullet weights, designs and performance between the two calibers up to 160 grain bullets, we would still argue it over .... its part of the fun. Even when mentioned of the 162 grain and up options for the 280  There is always something

Here is the 270 WIN load I've been using in an old Ruger M77 for the last decade; Hornady 140 BTSP, 57.0 H4831sc, WLR, W-W brass, round at 3.230" COL. Velocity is 2810 AVG FPS at 75° (BETA Chrony 10 ft. from muzzle), groups 5/8" to 7/8" at 100 yards (from a bag). Been a consistent deer killer up to this point - I have not recovered a bullet.
One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

Used the SST on one elk.. Lung shot at about 250 yards. Pass though, and she ran maybe 200 yards across the prairie.. Haven't tried the inter lock, but have been shooting 140 Sierra HPBT"S.. I like it very much, but it is not my elk rifle.. I would guess the interloke's would work fine on most game..
