Strut_Buster Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 I think you just pick the load that shoots the best and you feel comfortable at up to 200 yards. Tell me how that 270 WSM shoots. I'm lookin to add another WSM to the battery soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robk Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Re: Bullet Selection for 270wsm for hunting i would look at something like the winchester failsafe or one of the sofpoints that are out or look into the federal barnes triple shock boattail i think you will definately make your day rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Re: Bullet Selection for 270wsm If it were me, I would lean towards the Accubond from the options you listed. The regular .270 Winchester can frag bullets on close shots. The WSM is pushing them faster, increasing the chance they will frag. While this is usually fatal on deer, it can make for less than desirable blood trails. I prefer an exit wound and would stick with the Accubond, Failsafe, X-Bullet, etc for hunting. The bullet will hold together better insuring deeper penetration. The other bullets you mentioned will work great on the longer distance shots, but when a deer sneaks out at close range, the premium bullets work better.

OJR Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Re: Bullet Selection for 270wsm I used the Hornady, 130 grain, Interbond in a regular 270 this fall and shot a buck at about 75 yards. It went completely through him and it sure did a number on his heart and lungs! Couldn't have asked for better performance with a bullet. They are very accurate also. I reload my own ammo! Good luck!

JimT Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Re: Bullet Selection for 270wsm I would use the Accubonds also out of the ones you suggested. However, I myself would just stay with the CoreLokts. They work and are much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
