I'm shooting the 130gr silver ballistic tips out of my T3 270wsm and getting groups about the size of a small lemon at 100yds. I want to try a different bullet to see if I can get better accuracy.

I have been loading rounds with Nosler 130gr Ballistic Tips. After going through a few different loads I think I finally found one that is pretty good. I got about a 1" group @ 100.

Federal BT 150 grain. It uses a Nosler ballistic tip. I switched from that to Barnes TTSX. They group about the same but I love that Barnes stuff.

I also have a T3 270wsm and the Federal Fusions shoot really well through mine.

Awesome ammo. Sucks that Freedom Group bought them out. Thinking of switching out of spite. Norma Kalaharis are awesome but they cost so much

My 7-08 was shooting clovers with the hornady SSTs but I wasn't getting exits so switched to accubonds. Still shooting around 1" groups

Mine has loved federal ammo. Both fusion 150 and 175 and blue box 175. 7 rem mag. I get 3 shot 100 yrd groups that touch. Nickel size.

Mine likes Sierra gameking the best, which most rifles do. I hunt with partitions and it’s about 1.5 MOA with those which is wayyyyyy good enoUgh for me. It’ll shoot the sierras into the same hole.

The best group I ever shot in my life was a .308 tikka with 150 grain federal blue box cheapo depot ammo. 6 shots that you could almost completely cover with a quarter at 135 yards.

My buddy has been trying to find something that will group well for a while and now he’s trying hornady 130gr sst reloads. Seems finicky, but don’t know if it’s the caliber, him, or the gun or a combo. My T3x lite 7mag shoots the nosler 160gr accubonds in a group about a half inch at 100yds

Anybody got one in 300 win mag? Looking at federal 180gr trophy bonded to try. I've heard good things but never shot federals or tikka before. It's for an elk hunt next November

270 Winchester T3

Hornady SSTs are the best I've found thus far.
