im finally out of the old school winchester xp silver tips (not the ballistictips). what i have is a box of winchester xp power points that seem to be awesome as well and readily avail. what is yall opinion on those

If they hit where your aiming,they'll do fine...

That is what I have shot since I started. Why switch now? I did shoot the ballistic tip boattails for a little bit but they messed up too much meat. Just fragmented too much.

the silver tips or the power points are what you are shooting??

silvertips

I just looked and it seems they might have discontinued.them. Sorry, I'm behind the times. My dad bought about 8 boxes before he passed 5 years ago. I still have enough left for a few more years I guess.

This year I went 3 for 3 with the federal non typical 130 grain in a 270. 1 dirt, and 2 short track jobs. I’ve also had good luck with the Winchester Deer Season XP in a 30/06.

that is the only reason i had to switch

If I was switching I'd probably start with ammo that used the nosler partition. Or maybe the accubond.

hard to beat a 150gr core-lokt

Pick one of these two and you'll be happy.

i'd start with these and the federal fusion 150s...cheap and available...remmy 700s love both.

i have a couple of tikkas that don't like so much but do like the Hornady's sst 140s

I love these in my .270. I put a WTB by ad on 24hourcampfire classifieds several years ago and bought 5 boxes from a guy on there.

And this guy...



Is not amused by anyone using anything other than a 130 grain bullet in a .270.

I am pretty stubborn about 130 grain for 270 and 150 for 30-06. Though for elk I would entertain a change to 150 (270) and 180 (30-06). (edit:don't tell Jack that though)

Just checked and now I'm worried. Only have 2 1/4 boxes of super x 130 grain silvertips. Got to start getting picky on my shooting or switch to 30-06 cause I've got a few left in that caliber.

I've had good success with the 150gr Silvertips in my 300WSM. In my standard calibers like .270 and 7mm-08, I've switched to SST's and Im very happy with their performance.

Core lokt in 130 is all I have ever used

I've never been convinced there's another .270 round any better than a Remington Core-Lokt in 130 grain.

The best ammo isa what your gun likes best. For my rifle Winchester Accubonds are the best. Good luck.

Perch nailed it. I’d shoot whatever your gun likes best. My 2 favorite .270 rounds for terminal performance on whitetail are the 130gr Partition and the 130gr Fusion. I’ve got another .270 that’s very picky and only loves the 130gr Hornady GMX, other .270’s I had hated it. That’s my favorite part of owning rifles, dialing in the most accurate/best performing load.
