270win bullet recommendation

[medic_hntr3523]

Don’t go sst. I’ve killed several elk with them and it doesn’t put them down quick. Interlocks or accubonds are MUCH better. I’ve also killed several with Remington core lokts. Does a great job too.

Shot Placement...

So many good options.
270 doesn't get the love b/c it doesn't have the sexy high BC like the 6.5 and 7's and you don't have to have manbun to shoot one. Nor do you have to setup your rig to shoot a million yards with turrets and giant scopes. It's not a short fatty or a belted magnum or an ultra turbo fireball or the ultimate in modern hunting innovation.

It's just a great American killing machine for folks who drive trucks, bend the bill of their hats, drink beer from a can & coffee from a gas station, enjoy Copenhagen, pee standing up, eat fried foods, don't know how to count macros, or what skinny jeans and hashtags are.

Sam Elliott should do a commercial for the .270 and maybe throw some Bob Seger in the background

I was right there with you until you got to gas station coffee. Maybe that’s where us .280 shooters deviate

Starbucks and Copenhagen are a heavenly match.

i use 130g (partitions for hunting) because they are accurate in my rifle. No problem taking game , up to Elk.

Shot Placement...

The last bull I shot with it was double lunged, and he took 10 min + to die.

No. I was hopping around boulders and crevices to get closer. He was only 150yds max. But he fell behind a boulder out of view. I listened to him wheezing/ crying the whole time I walked up to him. Which took all of 10 minutes or more. Couldn’t see him until i was literally standing over him. The shot was perfect. A bit of lung tissue poking out the exit wound, about the size of a dime or less.

I've double lunged an elk or two with a few different bullets. None took 10 minutes to die. Interesting. mtmuley

My 270 really likes 140grn accubonds
