Anybody on here use the Nosler 110-gr. Accubond bullet in their .270 Win. on deer? It is lighter than the usual suggested weight (130-gr.) for the .270 and deer, but its bonded-core construction should mean that it will stay together on impact, and its flat trajectory at .270 velocities is appealing.

I've got an idea that it was more designed for lower velocities in the 6.8 SPC as was the 110 TSX, but is fine up to about 3000 fps. Perhaps research this a bit more. The 110 TTSX was designed for higher velocities.

Have used both 110gr TSX and NAB out of 270 for deer.
They work and have never recovered a NAB with both mild (2600fps) or standard loads (3200 fps).
The 110 TSX was used not only on deer, but antelope, hogs, Axis and Blackbuck.
Have recovered two TSX's, expanded perfectly. Both two plus feet of penetration.
Use either with confidence.

I’ve shot a few bears with the 110 NAB out of a 270 WSM started at 3700 fps. Never recovered a bullet.

I’ve seen plenty of guys shooting the 100 grain cor lokts for deer in the .270
That’s a factory round and it gets the job done. I can’t imagine an accubond not being even better. And I bet You could drive it harder

i'm looking at Nosler’s website. I don’t see a 110 Accubond in 270 What am I missing? They make 6.8mm (.277) 110 AccuBonds. John, I'm an AB fan and have mostly transitioned from the Partition to the AB in cartridges with bore diameters less than 0.277", but wonder if the bullet in question, which was designed for the 6.8 SPC's maximum safe velocities around 2,500 fps, won't be fragile and potentially disintegrate at the higher velocities that the 0.277" bore cartridge with more case capacity are capable of. I've read the anecdotal evidence, but notice that Nosler doesn't recommend a load for it's use in the 270 WIN, WSM, or WEA. Being the resident guru of such things, what do you recommend for this combination of components?

Interestingly, the 110AB is included in Nosler's load data in the 270, WSM, etc. with MV up to 3700fps. But on the website under Accubonds, I don't see it.

I'd have to think the 110's screaming out of a 270 would be deer zappers.

The destruction mirrors that of a 25 cal 110 Accubond started at 3600fps out of a 257 Weatherby. Never been able to recover one of those either.

That's a shame. I bought some a number of years ago and really liked them on deer.
Made a nice point and shoot setup and seemed to kill faster than the 110 ttsx when placed behind the shoulder

It's been awhile. But I used 113g copper monos in a 270 WCF for deer. This bullet would be very close to a Hammer or a GS-HV. It ran at 3340 or so. Easy 300 yard zero. Hold on a deers back at 400. Piles of dead deer. Very effective. Never recovered one. Bullet hole in. Half dollar out. dave
Only accurate rifles are interesting.
