270 with 140gr accubond for elk

[bullhead]

Hello, has anyone had any experience using these bullets for elk? Thinking of loading some for my grandson to hunt with. Thank you.

I'd do it. I've got three elk with three shot's with my 6.5x06 and 140gr Speer Hot Core's! Accubond may act about the same. According to Nosler they are designed to shed 30% of their weight.

I used them this year and last year. Worked great. Killed a cow and calf last year. This pic is of my cow elk this year; ran about 50 feet. 100 yard shot and recovered the bullet on the off side shoulder just under the skin. Mushroomed perfectly. Thought I had a pic of the bullet but doesn't look like it.

140 .270 Accubond, broke the onside shoulder, found in the hide in front of the offside hip. They work great on elk.

You will be good to go. Despite what you read online they are not that tough to kill

Accubonds + Elk = Let’s eat

Killed one with the 150 grain in a not too hot 270 WSM load. Thought about stepping down to 140s before ultimately choosing Hammers.

No experience with the 270 140GR Accubond on elk, but did shoot a mule deer buck with one and it worked really well.

Ditto for me. 140 Speer Hot-Cores and Sierra GKs in ,264 Win Mag and 6.5 Swede have put a lot of meat on the table for me. The Accubond will work fine.

I heard they suck.
But if you'd like to sell the bullets I could take them off your hands and give them a good home.

Do it, I shoot 130 grain Accubonds out of my 270, and 160 grain accubonds out of my 7mm Rem Mag, I think they are the best hunting bullet made.

Ive never shot an elk with a .270 at all, but I'm aware of people who swear by it as an elk gun. I know a couple guys that use 150gn partitions in their .270s and have stacked up quite a few elk. The Accubond is a darn good bullet that both expands and penetrates well. For part, I don't see any reason to be concerned if that's what you're going to go with.

Here is the recovered bullet from this year. And to clarify, it is a 140gr accubond shot from my .270.

Done it at my house. Accubonds are great bullets. mtmuley

I only used 130 accubonds for a # of years, I think they killed 3 elk, never lost one. Can't say I never missed one, but that's not the bullets fault.

140 grain accubonds and Magpro in my 270WSM. I'm not sure how many elk I've shot with it, but around four or five. Works as good as anything else I've used.

 

[featherman]

They are a fine elk bullet. Don’t worry.
