Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game 270 win Moose bullet?

Good day all, I've just purchased a Sako Bavarian Carbine in 270win and am looking for a good bullet that would work for a moose hunt. Thanks in advance.

Never hunted for moose, but I’m pretty sure a 150 gr Partition would get the job done....

For sure. I was thinking the same thing myself.

You could try the 160gr Nosler Partition. Thinking that would work. It's a stout bullet.

140 gr bonded bullet, took my last shiras moose with my 270 wsm and a 140 gr bullet. He fell to a 140 gr. core lokt.

My personal experience is the 150 Partition works very well.

I've taken a couple with 160NPs and 130 TSX.......just shoot for lungs!

Just a reminder....should something go wrong and the wounded bull is heading
for a nasty area [lake/river]......take that going away pelvic shot as it usually
breaks joints or severs large arteries putting him down.

Well, I would load and shoot the 150 grain Nosler Partition.
Wish you luck on your moose hunt.

A 270 Win is a completely inadequate cartridge for moose. You should trade it in and get something more powerful, like a 6.5 Creed. Then you'll be able to shoot them at 800 yards.

Makes 3 of us. I've shot elk with the 270/150 NPT combo. It works.

I'd agree with the other comments suggesting a 150 grain Nosler Partition. Years ago, I settled on 1 load for each of my rifles, regardless of caliber and typically shoot a "heavy for caliber" bullet. In my .270 Win, I shoot 150 grain partitions, IMR 4350 powder, WLR primers and Winchester brass. That load has killed everything I've shot with it, including VERY large elk. Good luck on your moose hunt.

This is what immediately came to my mind also. Next would be the 140g NAB or 150 LRAB.

Well I've almost taken a 270 along for Moose. Hard to leave a 30-06 behind in favor of a 270 though. I would've used 150 Core-Lokts which always drove deep for me.

Ha! Now you've done it. They's comin' after you now, boy.[Well played tho].

with the 6.5 Creed, you just shoot in front of the nose, and the Creed will suck the wind out of them. This comes from advanced powder coatings that only work in the Creed.

130 gr NPt works well even if it's not the peoples choice.

I would go with one of the copper bullets- such as the Nosler e-tip or Barnes TTSX or TSX. I would go with at least a 140 grain. I know the 130's would work but moose are about as big an animal as you will ever hunt with a 270, so why go with a light bullet?

Any premium 130 grain and pretty much any 150 will work just fine. Their vitals are massive in size and not hard to get to. Just don’t panic after you shoot one and it just stands there. Some moose just absorb lead that’s killing them but they keep on standing , walking or trot for a bit before tipping over.

Everyone that said 150 grain Partition is correct.

150 Nosler Partition and go hunting. Good luck on your hunt.
