Loaded for m .270 for a long time. I have decided that the 130 grain Ballistic Tips are too frangible, but the 150 grain BT is just about perfect for Sask. white tails.
Tried Barnes bullets and couldn't get them to group well, but the very best shooter in my rifle is the 150 grain Partition over H4831.
Since I have never had any complaint about that bullet's performance on anything I shot with it, and since there is so little practical difference in trajectory between it and the 130's out to over 350 yards (have a close look at some charts), and since it actually delivers more energy at long range, that's the load I use almost always. I can even take it as a backup to the .300 Win when we go after elk and moose and feel quite content.
