243 TSX all the way Don't have a 270.

In 243, I use the 80gr TTSX. I'd chose the 130gr Accubond if using a 270.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

I assumed he was asking the question for deer sized game. In the 243, I want something that I know will smash bone and keep on going. I really like the 80gr TTSX. In the 270 he asked about 130gr bullets only. Had he asked about the 110gr TTSX, that would have been my choice. I feel like the 130gr TTSX performs more like a traditional 150gr bullet...maybe even better. I chose the 130gr Accubond based on his options. They're all great bullets and will do an excellent job.

I don't have any pics-sorry! Actually, I've yet to shoot a deer with the 80gr TTSX. I've shot deer with the 260 rem 100gr TTSX & 120gr TSX, 7-08 120gr TSX and 308 win 130gr TTSX 150gr TTSX 168gr TTSX. I shot a hog with the 223 53gr TSX and was quite impressed. Those results are what started me working up loads with my 243. Once I got my hands on some 80gr TTSX's and found the load, I really liked the accuracy/combo. I have no doubts about the performance after what I've seen the 53 in 223 do.

The 130 TTSX in the 270 is a deer killer for sure. I dropped two last season with them and they never flinched after the shot.
Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better. True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth. If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

In .243, either the 80 grain TTSX or the 85 grain TSX is fine by me, the best thing that ever happened to the .243. In 270 I like the 110 TTSX a little better than the 130 TSX, But I could hunt the rest of my days with either and never complain

I'd let my rifle decide what it liked best. Either option would work fine for killing.
