Thread: 150 grain bullets in .270win

2209 is fine for 270 Win, as you can see, a decent load of 2209 works fine and gives a small velocity gain over 2213sc at similar pressures- in this rifle driving 150 VLD's, a 22" barrel Wby Mk5 Ultralite, more velocity was easily gained using 2209, but recoil in a 6lb rifle becomes an issue. In a standard weight 270 with a 24" barrel it should be possible with a little care, to get an easy 3000fps, the bc gains in a 150 projectile easily negate the velocity gains loading the 130's. Weight is a non issue if all shots on animals are under 300, but why not set up with a projectile that will kill properly as far as you can shoot. The exception to that rule for me, is the 110 TTSX which will out penetrate even the mighty partition ( within the TTSX's correct operating range for ethical killing of game)

Am a commited 150 fan, but not in the bonded bullets like Accubond (140 is better) Interbond, Deep Curl and TTSX (not bonded but same drawback at long range)

(Stuck at home with nothing better to do)
