270 copper recommendation

[Richard doran]

What copper are people using in their 270 win?

Hornady 'Superformance' 130 gr. Been using it for years in my Sako L61 with no problems, more accurate than best factory lead loads and nothing but clean kills. Just don't believe the advertising hype that says "no more felt recoil", you can feel the difference but not a problem if you are used to 270.
I have generally found that 'faster is better' in terms of both knock down and accuracy with copper bullets.

Every rifle may like different ammunition, however im using Sako Powerhead Blade 120gr successfully in both a Tikka T3 and Browning X Bolt

Thanks for reply. I will try and find somewhere near that sells them and give them a go

Yeah and mine is fussy on factory loads. Been loading yewtree, but they destroy carcasses

I got .243 equivalent (also work well) from Haylett Grange at Haverford West recently, may have- or be able to get- .270. Usually stock up mine when I am passing Bushwear in Stirling.

I'll try Haylett Grange. Not a million miles away from us.

Wow, what sort of MVS did that give you ? And how was the effect on game ?

What I'm using. Very accurate. Haven't had any problems knocking them down.

I dont have a 270 but a stalker I have been out with on a couple of different weeks stalking up in Scotland has settled on the Sako powerblade factory ammo with 120gr bullets. Shoots accurately enough and he is happy with the blade bullets.
