Favorite .270 Factory Ammo for Whitetail?

Federal Fusion and it's not close

I've been shooting the deadliest mushroom in the woods for years.

Core-lockts

I know there are higher end loads, but my favorite is the most reasonable price round that works.

I've had 6 .270 rounds from 3 different boxes of Hornady ammunition misfire, 2x on deer. This was over the course of 8-10 yrs. I have had a combined Zero misfire from all others.

To answer the OP, I've shot 130 CoreLockts almost exclusively for 25 yrs. For some reason I switched to Federal Fusion 150s this year. They are very good, but I will probably go back to the Remingtons after this box. I like the 150 grain bullet, but those 130 gr fly flat flat flat every time. Not sure why I don't just shoot fusion 150s. Haven't considered that I suppose.

I used Remington a frames (nickel casing I think) for the first time this year bc it was the only thing academy had when I went.

Switching back to core-lokts though. Friendlier on the wallet and the blood trail with the a frames was almost non existent.

That's good to know.

winchester ballistic silver tips 130 gr. My gun shoots these very well and i have had great success with them on deer. Hell my brother dropped a 250 lb boar with some 95 grains out of a .243

Fed premium nosler part. 130gr.

Browning abolt shoots them well.

Nosler Accubond 130 grain dropped every deer I have shot this year in its tracks with this bullet.

I'm a bit undecided for now.
It's between federal blue box, fusion's and hornady American whitetail right now.
