Anyone have Badlands .277 140 BD2 bullets?

[83cj-7]

I’m looking for info on this bullet. I’d really like a picture of the actual bullet and a measurement of bearing surface using a bullet comparator. Also, has anyone loaded it in a .270 win with good results?

I've got a half box of 128 gr if interested.

Thanks, but looking for the 140

Your 270win will need a 1:8 twist barrel or faster to stabalize the 140. If you have a standard 10tw, the 128 is the one to try.

Having an 8 twist 270 built. Looks like I’m gonna have to order a box.

Did you ever try the 140s? I'm having an 8 twist .270 built and not much info out there on them

No, I started with the 165 ABLR and never switched.

Great choice on the accubonds. I have to use non lead for my shi**y home state so I'm looking at hammers, Barnes and the badlands. These long monos are what lead me to a custom build

Shoot the lrx
None of the fragmenting monos kill any better
Some are considerably worse

I've had luck with both styles, I'll most likely go with whatever shoots best between the 3
