If you can find them, the Weatherby with accubonds shoot amazing for me in my 300 WBY. Damn tough to find ammo for Weatherby lately.
I’d say as heavy as you can get. Weatherby shoots hot so having some fat on the bullet will help.

My .270 Wby mag loves the 140-gr Accubond factory loads and the 130-gr Barnes TTSX factory loads. Neither is easy to find although I have had some luck tracking down some of the Barnes ammo on gunbroker.com
The Nosler loads are almost impossible to locate. And I just got an email from Weatherby saying they wouldn’t offer factory loads with Nosler projectiles due to inconsistent availability. That was bummer news.

Autotrader.com, no wonder I can't find this stuff anywhere.
Seriously though, I think 270WBY is a dying cartridge and finding factory ammo is only going to get more difficult.

I swear I’m losing my mind. I was typing and simultaneously trying to listen to my 9-year-old and somehow gunbroker became autotrader. Shoot me now.

Here’s the note I received from my signup on their website for 257 ammo. Seems that way…

Yup I sure as hell would. Buy as much as you can afford. The sucky part is if your gun likes it, it’s on borrowed time with the ammo.
Will be placing an order in the morning for numerous boxes. Thanks
Pretty nice gun. 1998 RMEF banquet gun never fired. Won in a fund raising raffle to honor a friend who passed away this year. They’re going to get a plaque placed on a guzzler in Nevada in his honor. He was instrumental in establishing sheep herds across Nevada As he was a biologist for NDOW for many years. It was quite the honor to win this gun

I really like mine. Shoots super flat. Very accurate. I really like it. I’ll probably have to start reloading.

Hammer seems to be readily available, certainly the B2B demand/contracts are different than B2C, but get on it WBY.....WBY fast hammers are going to be awesome.

The 270 WBY shines with the heavier for caliber bullets like the 140s and 150s. Finding them not so easy though.
Finding components to reload for it is a PITA too. Finally found 140 ABs this week after looking forever. Guy at Nosler told me the 140 gr ballistic tips shoot the same for quite a bit cheaper so I might load up a few and see if that John Denver is full of sh*t
Nosler hasn't run 270 bullets in forever

Ooh, I perked right up when I saw this thread. I also have a Ruger No. 1 in a 270 Wby. I’m no help with the ammo though - I buy whatever is available anymore, which isn’t much. Used to shoot 150 gr partitions, haven’t seen those in a few years. Think my current bullets are 130 gr interlock, because that’s what I was able to get.
