I have had the best luck through my REM. 700 BDL in .270 caliber. Imr 4831@ 52.8 grains was the powder work up accuracy winner with 2 hits in the 10 ring out of 3 total bullseye hits in a powder work up! 52.8 grains was the accuracy winner. 2 of 3 hits in the 10 ring= bullseye.
270 Winchester pet loads?

These bullets are super accurate, deer just flop. Hard to get big bullet guys to try this bullet, if they ever do, they are hooked.
I love the TTSX's in any caliber, they also seem to have come down in price, they were over a buck each for a while. I always shoot the lightest ones they have in any caliber they offer, in this case 95gr with 62gr of RL17. I have also tried they 110gr with 60gr of RL17 in this caliber with great success.

I'll stick with the Noslers; 130gr Nosler AccuBond, 55.3 grains of IMR4350, Winchester large rifle primers and Nosler or Norma brass. That being said, my 270 Winchester has found a place in the back of the gun safe as my 270WSM with the ultralight composite stock has taken its place. I can shoot 150 grain bullets from the 270WSM at the same velocity I shoot 130 grain bullets out of the 270 Winchester. I like heavier bullets, the reason I chose the 270WSM.

I have a 270 Weatherby that is not a common round or even a subject of conversation, but let me tell you it is not a chambering to be discounted or ignored. I load 80gr of Hybrid 100 with those same 90gr Sierra's, I forget the fps number, but I remember it is close to 400 yards if not over before they start to drop. I kid you not. LOL

Bump this one for later
58 grains of W760 powder and the 110 Barnes TTSX bullet in Nosler brass lit by 210 GMM Fed primers as per AckleymanII. Very good accuracy out of a M70 rifle with 24 inch barrel. 2 deer harvested this year here in Pa. dropped in their tracks. I was using 130 Accubonds a few years back but I am liking the light bullets in my .270 for deer. Never chroneyed them but I would think they are moving out at least 3400 fps.

That is actually a pretty soft load, I normally ran 59grs with 130 Nosler Ballistic tip. Used thst load for years with good success. I now use 110 gr Barnes TTSX with 59grs of RL-17 with a CCI 200 primer. THe best load by far that I've ever used in a 270. Velo is 3400 fps and critters drop and actually vibrate from the HV shock. 1in high at 100 gives you point blank to about 325 yds.

Years ago, I was hunting deer in Utah, what a hike that was. I shot a big buck with a 130g soft point, knocked him down and he kept going. I made it over to where he was, then heard a shot. I figured that someone else finished him off. Well, another guy did finish him off. I walked up to the deer and he was a monster, and I congratulated the guy on making a good shot.
He said no the deer was not his, that the deer was mine, he just finished him off for me. I was in a state of shock as guys are rarely ever willing to give up a nice trophy buck. About that time, three of his kin showed up. They were all happy as they had been hunting the buck for two years. They offered to help drag the deer out, hard to believe their kindness. They insisted that we take the deer to their house, just down the road, where we could butcher the deer and have lunch.
This really nice Mormon family had gone all out to be a friend in all aspects. We had a wonderful lunch, and of course the topic of guns and calibers came up. They all shot 270's and the 110g Sierra spt. I was shocked. I inquired as to why, and they said that fewer deer run off with the 110's compared to the 130's.
After lunch, we butchered the buck. I kept half of the deer gave the other half to the family since one of them finished off the buck that could have been lost. Inside their large barn was horns screwed to the wall, must have been 50 or more racks in the barn, and mine was larger than all of them. I asked them if they would mind if I put my rack on their wall? They were elated! They asked why, and I told them that harvesting that large buck was a team effort, and I would never forget their acts of kindness. Since their whole family had hunted that buck for a couple of years, I thought that the head belonged on their wall. I hunted with them a few more years, but deer hunting was not my thing as I was more of a predator hunter. I got to see just how effective those 110g Sierra's were on big Utah bucks. Fellowship with these families was a lot better than the deer hunting could ever be, and I found some awesome chuck shooting on back side of the ski slopes for the Spring.
I have shot 110's on deer ever since in the 270. Switch out to the 110g Hornady HP for coyotes, same point of impact. ON a large buck of 250 lbs, a shoulder shot with the 110g Sierra will break one shoulder, turn the insides to soup, stop on the far side. Broadside shots always penetrate, either way, they are not traveling far, usually straight down. 110's are very, very flat shooting at 3400. 110g tipped tripple shocks are awesome on deer, jump the bullet .050 from the lands, call it done. 110g Sierra's like to be up close to the lands, but the loads are not real picky. Oddly enough, the 110g Sierra, ttsx, and Hornady HP all have the same point of impact, what is not to like?
For the average guy, shots are botched on deer between 200-300 yards and this is where the 110g really shines. I sight in my rifle at 200, and at 300 I simply aim at the top of their back, they are dead. At 3400, these bullets are very, very flat shooting!!!
