I wrapped up my spring season in NC this afternoon. I was on my way in to do some cold calling near a roost area along a swamp when I happened to see this gobbler and hen in a field before they saw me and I was able to work around and get a shot. I really wanted to call in another one but I just...
I have not tried a 140 grn Hornady in my 270s yet, but I have been using both 130 grn and 150 grn Hornadys in my 270s since the 1970s. I have killed many deer, pronghorn, and elk with them. Never once has one of those bullets failed to do what it's supposed to do.
Didn't sound like much fun on I-95 in Virginia yesterday and today.

I bought a stainless stalker in 2018 when they were still making it in 300 H&H. I have been very pleased with it so far. I’ve killed 7 bucks and a bull elk with it so far. I wish I would have gone ahead and bought another one in .270 before firearms got so scarce.
I've killed 6 whitetail bucks in since 2018 with 180 Accubonds in my 300 H&H at distances from 50 yds. to 400 yds. All short blood trails or DRT. They seem to work very well.
I wrapped up my NC season with one of the hard headed swamp birds I’ve been after since the 1st weekend. He made a muddy mess flopping before I could get to him but he’s mine.
Opening day here in NC. After a lot of gobbling on the roost things went quiet. I continued to call occasionally and this one came in silent about 7:40.
