Because it's not a Creedmoor of course.Why would anyone try to talk you out of using a .270?
I don't trust noslers g1& g7 b.c they have over inflated them several times in the pastOut of curiosity I just looked up the BC of a 150gn .277 ABLR: .591. WOW.
That's why you verify drops. With any bullet. mtmuleyI don't trust noslers g1& g7 b.c they have over inflated them several times in the past
I was about to say the same thing. Those are my 2 go to bullets.Have killed them with 6.5 142 grain lrab and a 7mm 168 grain lrab. A .277 150grain lrab isn’t going to bounce off
Took my cow with 150gr using my .270I have searched endlessly on the internet for someone with experience in this area, but I am not finding much. Before anyone tries to change my mind, I am 100% using my .270 on an elk hunt this fall. There will be no caliber changes. However, my gun shoots 150gr Nosler ABLR really well. The one post I was able to find on performance with these variables was derogatory due to the "softness" of the bullet, especially at shorter distances. My main question, has anyone killed an elk with these specific parameters, and if so, how did the bullet perform? And at what range did you shoot the elk?
yes i know and you should with any bulet, but it still doesn't excuse the fact that nosler inflates its g1/g7 bc far more then other manufacturesThat's why you verify drops. With any bullet. mtmuley
Not exactly the same, but I shot a cow elk once, using a 150 ABLR from a 7mm-08. 200 yard shoot. it shed about 45% of its weight and ended up under the skin on the off-side. She made it 40 yards. I think it will work for you (certainly at longer ranges), but I might be a tad nervous if I was shooting a bull at 50 yards.I have searched endlessly on the internet for someone with experience in this area, but I am not finding much.

Use it! Quit listening to internet pros. Obviously its not a 1000 yd setup that all good hunters are using. It will kill elk if put in right spotI have searched endlessly on the internet for someone with experience in this area, but I am not finding much.

Not something that ever concerned me. mtmuleyyes i know and you should with any bulet, but it still doesn't excuse the fact that nosler inflates its g1/g7 bc far more then other manufactures
never said you did but for those who DO take noslers numbers as the gospel/fact, it shouldNot something that ever concerned me. mtmuley
Some of these “pros” actually used it and didn’t like the results. When you start seeing multiple “pros” with similar comments you should probably take that in consideration.Quit listening to internet pros.
Have been shooting Noslers and even Bergers for years. Always have verified my info. Thanks. mtmuleynever said you did but for those who DO take noslers numbers as the gospel/fact, it should
