Too cheap not to try, got 4 boxes headed my way. 👍🏼

What, those blue box Federal's don't shoot good!!!


I do like partitions the best, but for factory ammo, that Federal is pretty good stuff. For deer and hogs, it will be perfect, and not cost an arm and a leg. Good luck buddy!!!

Don't fret those Federals, even at 400 yards. They do just fine, if your rifle is up to the task. This was shot with my featherweight, and a cheap azzed scope. So your rifle should sling them even better..:

I'd throw in the 150 AB as well.

You can also try the 150 grain Swift A-Frame or North Fork.

Gee, it seems a lot of bullets work well in the ol' 270....who knew??

In factory ammo the Winchester Power Point has worked wonderfully for me. Did a whole lot of killing with that 150 grain in a .270 WSM. Honestly, I think you would have a hard time finding a bad 150 grain .277 hunting bullet. In hand loads I have used the 150 Hornady IL, Nosler Partition, Game King, and Ballistic Tip and they all worked extremely well. That is in both the WSM and standard 270 which I use allot more.

This is what I expected to hear and what I was generally thinking…there sure has been enough folks say specifically Nosler Partition to where I’m going to at least try again with them.

I took my first ever deer with a 270Win in Nov, with Win PP 150gr which is really accurate in my Rem 700. Got this rifle near 3 years ago, had toyed with different loads of my own, but all in 130gr and 140gr, 3 different bullets, but had never really gotten serious with it, hunting with my other rifles. Then early this year I finally tried a box of Remington CL 150gr, it did about as good as any thing else I'd reloaded. Then I tried the Win PP 150gr factory and it's very accurate. Dropped my deer DRT at 55yds. So since I decided to try reloading 150gr Hornady IL and also tried them with H4350, my 30-06 powder. Bingo! Still teaking it out slightly but I'm there as good as I need1"- 1.25" @ 100yds @ 2725fps is plenty hot for me, 75yds as far as I've ever shot at a deer! And recently found the 130gr IL and H4350 to be exceptionally accurate. Haven't shot at game, but from my experience with IL's in other rifles, I'm confident they'll do beyond the call of duty! But I wouldn't hesitate to use Rem CL or Win PP, either in 150gr out to 250yds! Never tried the Fed Bluebox, no need to now, but I know they'd probably do as well!

In factory ammo, I'll toss another vote to the Remington 150 gr. semi-round nose. It is very accurate in the rifles I have tried it in and works great on whitetail and hogs at woods ranges.

The Nosler Solid Base bullet works well also. They may be making that again
in 150 gr 270. You can work up loads with the SBs and then drop 1/2 grain powder
for the Partitions. Same poi and velocity. Back in the day the SBs were cheaper to shoot.

Purely anecdotal, but I've always found that rounds that shoot bullets more or less specifically designed for them tend to work well with just about anything. IMO its part of the reason that the .270, .243, 30-30, .303, and 6.5's all seem to punch above their weight. The bullets are either designed to work with the specific calliber, and/ or the rounds that drive the bullet market for the particular caliber all have very similar balistics.

140 gr Partition.

The 150 Fusion has shot great in 270 WSM and killed quickly - even on a couple marginal shots.

Any testimony for/against Norma Oryx?

I would bet the same results as prior posters. In a 270 it will be plenty accurate.

150 grain Speer hot cor. My rifle doesn't like partitions

If the Accubond won’t shoot, try the Partition.

I use 130 grain ballistist tips in the 3 I ownn now and another i load for. I did have a Sako that would not shoot 130’s, but sure liked the 150 grain partitions

Tough to beat a 150NP. Although these W-W PP's in my Kimber have me wondering why I'd keep looking:

You keep looking because like all gun nuts you can’t help it. It’s an illness with no cure. Edk
