Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles .277 one load

Suppose you had a 270 bee that shot the 130 part at 3500fps, the 129 lrx at 3500fps and the 140 ab at 3380fps.

All .75 moa. What would you load for a point and shoot load to 400 yards with whitetail, black bear, elk and moose on the menu?

150 gr Partition or Etip or TTSX.
Last 2 moose I shot were taken at 65 and 35 yards.
Apologize for being a smartass, but velocity is sometimes not your friend.

The 130 grain Nosler Partition.

Well, they'll all do the trick. They're all premium type bullets...I'd pick the cheapest one at this point.

LRX

Yeah, any of them will work great. That’s a laser.

See the 3 mentioned by dish dog. For me, imr4350 works well.

I know this is not on your list but there's a reason I suggest

150 -Premium N P/ Northfork / TTSX -> With Rl 26 ! I'd sure give it a try in WBY.

Any of those would work.

So would a Swift 130g Scirocco II, 150g North Fork SS, 140g Federal Edge TLR, 150g Nosler ABLR and a bunch of others. MOST others, for that matter. I'd go bonded or mono due to the possibility of a high velocity/short range impact.

Using the 140 accubond at 3300 here. Haven’t done much load work with partitions yet In the 270 Wby because the accubonds have shot so well and performed well on game , but when I get caught up with loads I’m tinkering with in other rifles , I’ll see what I can do , seeing as I have a fat inventory of 277 partitions .

LRX would be my first choice by a long margin.

LRX. I started out with 130s in my Bee. Ended up running 150s. I was always of the school that magnums were best served with heavy for caliber bullets. That is a killin suminabitch of a round.

Not the AB.

Why not?

TTSX

^^^
This even though the LRX is reported to be a "little softer" I would assume it would still give the highest weight retention at 40 yds to 400 yds.

This is the only load I use out of my 270 Bee terramark. It is supposed to be the 129 grain lrx but I wrote 130 by mistake. I have not played with seating that yet which will improve the group.
