I use Federal power shok 130 grain in the 270 calibre and i would recommend it. Accurate and good stopping power in my experience with it.

Worth reminding the 7mm mob, that there is in fact, only one true 7mm, and it is called .270 Winchester!
Fed Blue box 150grainers shot best in mine before I took up reloading.
Hornady 130gr ssts shoot really well in mine. I'll use Highland or PPU stuff if I'm just goin out to pop goats cos it's a whole lot cheaper (still shoots MOA though).
$$ not an issue = Barnes Vortex ammo if you can get it.
$$ an issue = Highland 130 SP.
Had very good results with the 130 SST superformance and Fed Fusion also.
Remington is the only brand I would avoid.
Out of interest I chronographed some Sellier and Bellot 130 grain a few weeks ago and got 2770fps (With a 23 inch barrel) which I found disappointing.
For factory ammo I would try Federal Fusion or just Winchester.
But I reload for everything.
@300_BLK I'm under the impression the local supplier is no longer selling this... My local no longer stock it & that's what I was told. Although the PPU stuff is supposedly the same???
No, but that said I was shooting Fallow and they were all head or neck shots. I have had a lot of experience with TTSX in .224, .264 and .308 and they have all performed as advertised, 4 razor sharp petals and 90% weight retention. The wee .224 50gr TTSX has transformed the killing power of the 223 for boiler room shots on big Red stags etc.
Correct, I have a few boxes left. PPU is manufactured in the same factory and Gunworks was advertising their SP projectiles for a while. Bloody awesome pills, soft as a Jube, massive lead tip puts some big holes in animals. Kill exceptionally well on goats and up. Cheap too
Shoot all my goats with a 270, waste is minimum, I was thinking of getting a 223 but I can.t see the advantage.
