.270 bullet for roe

[20-250]

And, takbok, here is what happens when you drop a magnet in the box. Rest assured, there’s steel in these jackets! Apology will be graciously accepted.

I've learnt something new!

Thought it was just the some old ones that might have steel core

It happens, Rory! These are definitely lead cored with a plated steel jacket.

Nowt new, Norma uses steel plated jackets, have done for many years.

Personally use 110 ttsx and 140 partitions.

 

[Leighrodgers]

How do you find the 110ttsx? Accuracy wise and performance on game?

Perfectly acceptable, dead deer without much damage <1/2" at 200yds.

A mate of mine uses hornady 130 grain soft points to good effect.

Often the right answer is a bit boring or mundane. If you are handloading, I'd back off the powder and try and keep the MV around 2800FPS.

130 grain, lead or copper

[Leighrodgers]

thank you guys, im torn between 110 ttsx, 130 or 140 gamekings... im going to use RL-22 powder though

 

[TSG]

RL-22 burn rate may not be fast enough for 110gn heads

Or 110 grain Bullets.

cdsg are doing 130s/sp,s seirra,s for 22quid at the minute.

 

[Leighrodgers]

thank you, i might get some sierra 130 grain and try rl-22, what other powders may be suitable? N160?

 

[wildfowler.250]

I haven’t found many roe argue with the .270 no matter what bullet but the bruising in the shoulders was quite severe with the ballistic tips.

I have found N160 good, but Reloder 19 better.

Have a look at 130gr Sierra ProHunter. As you're looking at sub 200yd shots, a boat tail bullet isn't any advantage.
Sierra lists Re22 powder as the best option for both accuracy 7 hunting & a fast one at that!
I'd have thought the 110gr would be more than enough for roe but Sierra don't list a Re22 load, only Re15 & Re19.
Why pay more than double the price for bullets designed for much tougher game than roe deer?
If you don't have the relevant Sierra data for .270 Win, PM me with your email address & I'll send it.

Spot on! My .270 spits out 130gr SP at around this speed, and it's good enough to dust a clay pigeon at a measured 283 yards using a car door as a rest. Incidentally, that's with 54grains of H4831, and CCI primers It's a superb load in my rifle
