No sense in spending a lot of money on ammo for whitetails. A 130gr corelock is all you need. 150gr Partition for elk.
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

Have used this load in an old custom stocked 24" barreled pre-64 M-70 on a boat load of WT deer through the years, has exited on all angles so far, the deer obviously dont go far, and at least half are DRT.

Last years load was:
60 gr H4831SC
Win. primer and cases
130 grain Hornady Spire point
Before that I was running IMR 4350 and a 130 Speer boattail but I got a new barrel and decided to use a temperature resistant powder and lose the boattail.

max load H4350 and 130 gr TTSX works also.
62 grs IMR 7828 is getting a workout with the Nosler PT.
Going to start load workup for Nosler Solid bases, good WT bullet.
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

My A-Bolt loves the Remington factory ammo with 140 Nosler Ballistic Tips which aren't made any more, luckily I have four boxes of them. My fathers A-Bolt shoots the Hornady factory 140 Interlock just great!

Whatever powder your gun likes pushing 130 Partitions. Really bad medicine on deer, etc.

No sense in spending a lot of money on ammo for whitetails. A 130gr corelock is all you need. 150gr Partition for elk. I've handloaded both for deer and was more than satisfied and would not hesitate one bit to use the factory Rem ammo with 130 gr Clkt and Fed Premiums with the 150PT's. even though in my rifle they were slower than advertised the accuracy of both loads was above average in my rifle.

pick almost any 130gr bullet. around 54-55gr of IMR4350, or 58-60gr of H4831 are the classic loads.

58.5 gr of H4831 under a 130gr Partition has always worked for me.

Seems like more people lately are trending better accuracy with 150's for some reason. I started with 130's, liked the 140s better, and now use 150s. 55.5grain of H4831sc and 150 Interlock. Got complete pass thought on hard angle shot that exited high up and it didn't look like a grenade went off. Best buck to date too so would be bad joo-joo to switch.
