If you buy factories, go with the 150 Partitions. If you handload get a box of 160's.

Gunner,
Can you get the 180's to twist right in a factory gun?

BBJ, Yes Sir, a bud of mine kills everything w/ that load in a factory Browning single shot rifle, according to him its a real bruiser of a load on critters the size of moose on down to WT deer.

I have used the 270 Winchester on Elk for umpteen years and seen it used far more than that..The 130 grain partition is all you need..Period.Com!!!

For me ... 130gr TSX and it wont matter if the animal is at your boot laces or 300 yards along a shooting lane.
Cheers...

Really, any of those would work. Here is a .270 140 accubond that was shot into an 800lb moose (dressed, post rut) my buddy put in the ham, broadside (don't ask). It was caught by the skin on the opposite side. At least 24+ inches of pure muscle. Another round severed the spine. The shot was at 30 yards, impact around 2900. ![[Linked Image]](http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq228/detective1261/f10.jpg)

Buy you a box of Federal PowerShok 150 JRNs for $14.97 at Wally World. Zero at 50 yards.
Shoot an elk in the right spot from zero-200 yards and it will prolly just collapse, swearing it was a 300 gr. TSX out of a .375.

150 Noz or the 130 TSX would be my pick. That's just an inexperienced opinion though.
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

Out of your list I'd choose the 150gr Partition.

On your list, I'd choose either of the Nosler offerings.
If it were me, I'd just grab a green box of 150 Core-Lokt and go to work killin stuff. They've worked just fine for me.
All will kill if properly placed and wound, if not.

No = 130gr. TSX -- but I �d run with a 130g TTSX with enthusiasm
Yes = 140gr. Accubond
Yes = 150gr. Nosler partition

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

The 150 NP off of your list. If using factory loads, the 150 Win Supreme XP3 would also be one to consider.

Those Accubond's really hold together.

To the original post, a 150 NP would be my 1st choice in a 270 up close or far. 2nd choice would be the 140 NAB. But I don't tend to think in terms of "75 yards or less." If I did, Dober's 160 NP recommendation makes the most sense.

From any angle w/a snap shot? 150/160 PT 140 Failsafe - maybe discontinued Barnes.. If all I had was an AB or corelokt 150, I'd let fly. Would surely even use a 150 BT - long as an ICBM

I've seen enough Failsafe's not open to make me think they're junk. I believe the Barnes offerings, flawed thought they are, are still an improvement over the Failsafe.
