What Bullet Weight....

do y'all .270 shooters prefer shooting deer DRT?

When I hunted with a .270 I used 150gr and never had any bad results

I've been shooting 140 grain SST in my 270 Win. I've been thinking about dropping down to a 130 grain Partition or Accubond. Or maybe going with a 140 grain Accubond. Not sure which weight is better, though.

130gr Nosler Partition, best of all worlds....

I like 130 accubonds

130-140gr is the happy zone for a .270

140gr.

I used to shoot 130's but got tiny entry and exit holes and the deer ran way farther than what i liked. My stepdad had the same problem with 130's and went up to 150's and he said he never had one run after he switched. For me I switched to a 7 mag shooting 140 Accubonds and have not had one run at all yet.

Personally, I would just test some and shoot whatever the gun liked best. I think it matters a lot more where you hit them and on the particular deer than it does on the difference of 20 grains of bullet weight.

I do think you will have better success on a marginal shot with a bullet that stays together. I love the Federal Fusion bullets in 150 grn from my 270.

140gr

I'm a 140 kinda guy.

if you reload Nosler is coming out with or already came out with a 150 grain high BC bullet.

Berger 140 has a BC of.487 AND the new berger 150s are .531 BC. As far as I know the 150 Bergers are the highest BC in the 277 bullet range UNLESS you go custom lathe built bullets

the reason for going to a higher weight bullet should be for better penetration. Inside 400 yards BC don't mean squat, but higher velocity does mean a flatter flight path. So ya go with a premium bullet at lower weights and higher velocities. Flat shooting AND deeper penetration.

140sst
110 vmax

140/150, will shoot flatter at longer ranges AND penetrate better. Try picking up a light rock and seeing how far you can throw it. Now do it with a slightly heavier one and see what happens. Heavier weights will simply carry the mail better.

a 140/150 will NOT shoot flatter to 400 yards than a 130.

That is true. 600 yards or less VELOCITY always beats BC> BUT your arguement is over mere inchs! 270 caliber 130 Berger 3200 fps drops 15 inchs at 400 yards. 140 gr berger at 3100 fps drops 16.5 inchs at 400 yards. AND 150gr berger at 3000 fps drops 18 inchs at 400 yards. All ballistic I posted are off Exball Ballistics Program. BAsicly a 130 drops 3 inchs less at 400 yards than a 150. BUT the 150 has 1834 ftlbs of knock down to the 130s 1688 ftlbs of knockdown. So does it really matter? NOT REALLY. 3 inchs flatter OR 150 ftlbs more knockdown DOESNOT REALLY MATTER THAT MUCH!!!!! You know now the facts, argur on if you want.

I just stated a 130 will shoot flatter. You can argue with yerself if it matters.

I actually agreed with YOUR DECREPIT AZZ! I put the numbers up for other to see the difference in actual drop. MY post was ment to be factual and to show the difference in 130,140, and 150 class bullets. Sorry it displease your royal highess!

Shooters....anytime you think I'm really "decrepit" just bring yer mouthy azz down here. I own and am only labor on my 40 acre farm. I'll work you into the ground......

I dont work for free. MY LABOR is expensive! Unless you need a wheelchair ramp built, then I help you for free!

you can negoitate with my farm manager about pay......

I have seen ballistic charts that show the 150 shoots "flatter" than a 130...but they changed the zero range to get it.....still ain't flatter.

MY ballistics that I listed were, 50 yard zero , with 2 inch bore height. Those where the numbers I posted. 0 at 50 yards is usually 1 inch high at 100 yards. I do the = 50 yard zero because I use a 55 gallon sand trap to recover and measure my bullets weight SO I sight in at 50 yards. Nightforce Exbal is what I ran the number AND posted them by.

Thanks for the info fellers...I sighted it in with 130gr core lokt because that is what I had and it really like them. I think I will see what she'll do with some 140's.

yer funny, in a little faggot sort of way...

Don't know why y'all are arguing .270. Just get one of these and think about all the money you'd save trying to decide on 130 vs 150 gr., treestands, camo, etc. Moving to Arizona so you can use it is a small price to pay for being able to shoot further than Shooters....



Anzio 20mm

I have always woundered IF you could neck-down a 20mm to 50 BMG???

my dad almost bought a Lahti 20mm anti tank gun in 1963 er so, damn that would of been some fun...

Anzio 20mm/50 BMG ! 3600 fps with a 750gr A-MAX!! I got to have 1 of these!

I'l bet if you shot that 20mm straight to the side of that truck you would be buying a new back glass.......
