.270 rounds

[270man]

Baylian,

As a long time 270 user, I can tell you that just about any of the 130gr spitzers from major manufacturers will work for deer. 130gr seems to be the "sweet spot" bullet weight for the 270 -- 3000fps velocity (or higher) and good accuracy. I used the Nosler 130gr Partition for my one elk taken with the 270. In the future, I plan to buy the 140gr weight NPs. Writer Jim Carmichael states that the 270 stops being itself with 150gr bullets. Its forte is high velocity with flat trajectory, and these go down dramatically with heavier bullets. I can't speak from experience but I know many who have used 130gr bullets and downed their elk with no problems. I wouldn't feel handicapped with them either, but I would go with premium bullets.
