Favorite .270 Bullets?

[83cj-7]

140 grain Accubonds with RL26 @ 3100 fps from a 22” barrel.

I used to run the 140 Accubond out of a 270 at 2870 and the damage it did to deer was unreal. I can’t even imagine what it does at 3100!

130s or 140s?

130 and 140 accubonds, 140 tipped game kings, 150 partitions. For those not too worried about BC, the 150 partition is a killin’ sonabitch from 0-550yds.

If I was shooting longer distances or going out west I’d use ELD x. No experience with it that ammo in this cartridge. But I would trust it based on its popularity with so many shooters across lots of other calibers.

It's good stuff. I got consistent hits on an 8" plate from field positions (mostly sitting with a sling or off my pack) out to 500 yards. Then turned around and shot caribou at 125ish and 30ish offhand.

Terminal Performance was acceptable. Both dropped in their tracks. The further shot was broadside and went through both shoulders and made a lump under the offside hide. The core and jacket were together but separated during skinning.

The closer one was frontal. I only found a sliver of jacket but the lungs were damaged. I didn't look too hard for more.
