.270 Deer Load

[AckleymanII]

110g tipped tripple shocks do not stop in a deer from any direction that I have shot them in, quartering shots. I killed a goodly number of deer with the 110g Sierra Pro Hunter, so has the family.

Big bullet mentality does not apply to Barnes tipped tripple shocks, it is better to drop down a notch in bullet weight and get the speed, and there is absolutely no use in worrying about penetration. Speed gives a tremendous temporary wound cavity.

Our shots are not past 300, but the 110's trajectory makes you feel like you are shooting a 220 Swift.

130 Ballistic Tip is a fantastic bullet for the .270

59.5 grains of RL-19 and 130 grain Barnes TSX, shoots bug holes at 200 yards.

130gr SST over H4350 shot great and worked well on antelope. 140gr Accubond over IMR 7977 worked well on a Muley and cow elk. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a .270 load not well suited to knocking over deer.

53 to 54 grains imr 4350 and 140 gr hornady sst . carry out better than 130s and bullet performance is great.

Another vote for IMR4350 under Sierra GameKing 130s.

My club has taken over 300 whitetail with Nosler bt and sierra gamekings, many with 130 gr in 270.
As good a combo that was ever devised for deer.

110 g sierra pro hunter, you get it up to ramming speed
and it will wow you.

I have 2 270's. I shoot a 130 Nosler Ballistic tip in both rifles. One likes 55 gr of IMR 4350 and the other likes 56 gr IMR 4831. The one that likes 4350 doesn't like 4831 and vise versa. I've owned a few 270's and it seems they either like one or the other. But, I haven't really tried any other powders. Also, it seems like 55 grns of 4350 and 56 grns of 4831 seems to the load they like.
