Whats a tikka 270 like to eat?

I was going to say, "tough" but upon further reading, that may not be what you were looking for. I'll let others answer.

I pick up whatever is cheapest. Shoot it one time before the season opens. If I hit within an inch or so of bullseye at 100 yds, I put it back in the truck and forget about it until next year. I have 3 or 4 different brands of old bullets rattling around in my truck, jacket pockets, shelves, clips, etc. I make sure it says 270 Win on it, and I load her up.


Of course, I'm not a Gun Guy

Ya a tikka 270 might cook up like a merganser (lawn dart)... cook it slow in even on a cedar plank ... throw away the lawn dart and eat tbe cedar ??

130 grain combined technology projectiles and Vithavori 160N powder shoots 3/4" groups at 200 yards for me

You want to make me a box of these in 270wsm?

I have no experience with a Tikka.

I have 2 Remington 700s in 270, both went from "OK" to "goddamn those shots are touching at 100 yards" when I switched to Federal Premium 150 gr. Boat tail soft point, and have anchored every deer since.

I shoot hornady superformance 130 SST ammo, but now I’m really getting into reloading for it. I found a Nosler 130gr ballistic tip shoots pretty well out of it. The muzzle velocity is around 2950fps (According to reloading manual).

130 Grain Federal Premium Ballistic tip, the yellow tips.

Kills deer dead, first time, every time.
