I used them on a 150# boar last year, dropped him in his tracks at 160 Yds. but I also shot him between the eyes. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l486/RugerM77270/Hogs/DSC02895.jpg) Nice!!!

What's wrong with Hornady Superformance 130gr IB for that .270? The IB is devastating on game. i have considered those as well as some others, just intrigued by the solids.

I don't think I'd trust it.
A 7x57 or 30-06 will do the trick, but I'd save the 270 for 'yotes. I have found this to be true.....  You know Bob, I gotta tell ya I'm disappointed. You're the only one who responded to my troll. Here we got all these twits like Swampy who can't say a thing w/out getting a huge influx of comments, and I can't get anybody but you (who I hope knew I was trollin') to respond!  After all, it isn't like I've got the notariety of Ingwe on my anti-270-ism, is it?  efw: I just knew you were trolling....which is why I chimed in and agreed.....we had two lines out,but no one came back! haha!  We couldn't get them to bite!  Who is this guy "Ingwe"?.........

I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

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.

I'm a dedicated .270WCF user for everything, but I avoid all raking shots..........just saying.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

I shot a big cow elk at 350 yards with the 150 GMX in .30-06. Caliber sized entrance and caliber sized exit. No reaction to the hit in the front shoulder, but I knew the shot was good. She stood there for about 40 seconds looking around. The herd spooked and she took off with them, headed for a hell hole. I Shot again and knew I hit her in the chest. She ran a few more steps and piled up. I couldn't find the entrance or exit holes from either bullet. I thought..."WTF, I know I hit her twice!" There was a nickel sized hole in the center of her chest where a piece of her sternum had broken through the skin (the second bullet hit the sternum). Other than that, no blood in the snow or anything. Internal trauma/wound channel was narrow and was NOTHING like other bullets I have used. If all you want is an exit hole and a bone crushing bullet, they are great, but if you like stirred up innards, there are better choices. It is only a sample of one, but isn't my bullet of choice. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, because they do work, but I like the Accubonds, Ballistic tips and Hornady flat base bullets better. Flinch
