Use heavy bullets in .270. Such as 160 grain, or even 150's.

Sarge

They sure were popular in the 1970's, I'll bet that cartridge is just as good as any of the newer calibers that are being promoted by the gun/shooting industry.

I have 1 that likes 140 and 1 that likes 150s.
Never tried 160s. The 90 grs are kinda special too.

I use one every year. Tried 160 partitions. Did not group to good in mine. I load it with 130 grain sierra boat tail game kings. If dont shoot over about 300 yards they work fine on elk. Now days though for big stuff I use 180 grain barnes tsx in 300 win mag

When I jumped from 6 mm I went with 270 with 150 grain bullet. Never saw a need for anything else

270 130 grain federal.

My son uses a .270 he uses 150 grain bullets.

I've had a .270 for around 20 years for deer. That being said I've only shot a four shot group per year to make sure it was still zero'd and I've shot a total of three deer with it since 2009. It stays true every year. I've only shot the three I did shoot for meat I generally just enjoy watching them. I had two of the three fall over where they were. One buck last year made it about 75 yards. I am one of those guys that will shoot a coyote if it runs out whether it's deer season or not. They definitely go no where. It's been an accurate round for me. I use the 150 g Remington Core Lokt.

My 270 likes 160 grain partitions.

I shoot 150's out of mine when we are hunting elk and moose.
I shoot 130's out of it if I decide to use it for deer.

I love .270 win. I have 5 of them ranging from pump guns to bolt guns. I shoot 130 grain bullets and handload for them.

Definitely my favorite cartridge for Whitetails/ Mulies/ Bear and pretty much anything else that walks in North America. Big Nosler fan.

Jack o connor favored a .270, one of the best all around big game cartridges ever made imho.

I started with 150s but they got harder to find so I tried Hornady American Whitetail 130s and they work fine.

My pre 64 model 70 loves Remington Core-Lokt 130 grain. More kinetic energy and flatter shooting.

Pete

I have a model 70 270 ......130 grain to 150 grain


It's great caliber , but a little light for less than perfect shots on elk

I bought a 300 win a while back but have not shot an elk with it yet

130 of whatever ammo the gun likes

.270 130 grain Remington

X2 what A said

Love the 270 for deer. 129 barnes LRXs. In my opinion as good as it gets for a deer cartridge

I love the .270 Winchester.

I only use 130 and 150 grain for deer and black bear.

90 grain projectiles, blew up and shedded varmints.

Excellent all-round rifle cartridge in my opinion.
