270 Success on big game.

[stan5677]

Time for another caliber success thread. Lets see those 270 kills whether it's the 270 Win, 270 WSM, or 6.8 Western. If you can remember post load, impact velocity and distance.

Hope to have a kill or two with mine in a couple weeks! I'll post up if so!

Don't have any pictures handy but have killed a pile of deer with a 270 win and 130 grain sierra soft points

I can second that .270 130gr Hornady SST I killed a ton of deer with. Ranges from 10ft to 600 yards. I would have to look back but somewhere in the ~30-40 harvests with said combo. Lost a buck with a poor shot once and it was my fault.

Lost a doe hit in the front shoulder broadside just over 100 yards once.. that bullet did something bizzare. Tracked for over a mile and most of a day. The blood stopped and we were dumbfounded.

The .270 is capable of killing well with a lot of damage with the correct bullet/shooter.

Here are my 2 meat bucks shot with x bolt western hunter lr in 270 Winchester. They were shot with Nosler 165 ablr with 56.6gr of RL26 with muzzle velocity of 2870fps. They were shot at 30 and 35 yards

About 10 years ago I switched to a .270 Win. Killed around 20 elk, broadside, frontal, quartering both ways. Probably 50 antelope all the same shots, and maybe 15 deer with same shots, 2 Bear, and 1 moose. Almost all we're with 130 grain Core-Lokt, a handful with 145 Hornady.

First elk!

100 yards walking towards me, nearly into my scent path, so I had to take a hard quartering towards angle shot. The 141 HHT bullet (3225 fps MV) from my 6.8 Western hit right where I aimed and dropped him in his track after zipping through the shoulder.

It's not much, but it's my first elk so I was happy with the results considering it was an OTC tag, public land, DIY hunt.

270 wsm 350 yards Barnes LRX 129 quartering away pretty hard. 3250Fps muzzle velocity. Went in the ribs out the front of opposite shoulder. Spun a tight circle and fell right there.
