which .270 round for moose?

[jae011]

Taking my .270 moose hunting this year. British Columbia. What grain, make ect.? Thanks!

I would go with a swift A-Frame, 150 grain.

Any Nosler Part. or Accubond, Barnes TTSX or TSX, or the above mentioned Swift A-Frame in 140 or 150 grain that shoots well in your rifle will do the job.

Do you reload?

150 partition

Do you reload?

I dont. I need to though.

150 partition

Or a 140 grain Accubond. In copper I"d look at a Hammer. They did very, very well in Africa on big critters last month. mtmuley

I put mine down with a 140 TSX. My dad did the same the following year. Neither made it 20 yards. They were big bulls but didn’t seem all that tough compared to even a cow elk.

Nosler loads a 140 accubond. That would be my choice.

This one shot pretty well in my rifle and runs way cheaper than Nosler still running an Accubond.

150 partition comes to mind.

I have taken several moose with a .270, 150 gr. Nosler Partition.

I took a moose with a 150gr Nosler partition out of a 270WSM

another vote for the 150 Partition.

I am cheap and they shoot well out of my 270's so I shot my moose with Remington Core-Lokt 130 grain. He took 2 steps and tipped over. I don't think moose are very hard to kill with good shot placement.

I'd second this. I'd also throw in the Federal Trophy Bonded Tip.

Look at these things: http://www.doubletapammo.net/index.php?route=product/product&path=303_312&product_id=284

If those velocities are true, that's impressive.

My choice in order would be
130gr ttsx
140gr accubond
150gr partition

+1 for the 150 grain Nosler Partition. I have never shot a moose with that load, but I have shot plenty of elk with it. Love that load in my .270!

I shot my moose with a 150 grain NP in a Federal factory load and it worked fine. Nowadays I would probably have 130 grain TTSX's for the same hunt, but there is nothing wrong at all with the Partition. Mine made it less than 50 yes and tipped over.

Your .270 is "enough gun" for the task and you just need to find the right bull. Have a great time in BC.
