.270 win ammo question?(which to shoot)

I have the same rifle, but hand load all I can say is my rifle likes the lighter bullet weight????

I think the federal non typical is the same as power shok in a different box.
I’d go with that one.

My remington 270 doesnt shoot the 150s for its life.

With no other reason than that, I say the 130s.

I was secretly hoping you guys would say the 130g non-typical. I have more of that one than the others combined.

Typical shot is 100-150 yards.

First 2 for me. No to round nose.

Then it's just whether you want 130 vs 150 and which your gun likes best. They are very similar bullets

I would lean to the 150gr then as long as it shoots well. A soft point 130gr at .270 velocity is smoking at 100 yards and might not hold weight as well.

I use the 145 grain Hornady in mine. This was my first year with them but they did a great job on the 3 shots I took.

This was my second season with the rifle. I had shot core-lokts for most of my life but my Tikka hated them.

Thought the rifle was shite until I switched to the hornady

Can't go wrong with either of the first two. 130 gr. has always been the 270s sweet spot, most all rifles will be accurate with that grain.

Typical shot is fine to consider, but I would also think about the longest shot possible where you hunt and prepare accordingly.

Realistically, 200 yards.

That's no problem for any 270 load. I shoot 150 grain federal fusions because I appreciate having an entrance and exit wound on deer. My suggestion is 150 in whatever you can find if you aren't poking over 200yds.

130 is a flat shooting round and looks great on paper. If you are going to shoot that in a 270 I suggest getting a really good bullet. 130 soft points tend to explode or not exit on large deer.

Qualifications: Been shooting the same .270 since 1988 and have experimented with dozens of bullets and shitepiles of critters.
