.270 lead projectiles

[Dalua]

Nosler BT 130gr was my go to bullet, now using 110gr TTSX trundling along at 3420fps.

That sounds highly efficacious. I've worked up a non-lead load just in case - but haven't had to use it yet: 130gr E-Tip with N160 doing about 3000fps.

I tried several in my rem 700. Game changer, acubond, ppu one or two others that I can’t recall also tried a couple of powders. The rifle seems to like 130 game king and vit n160

PPU Grom by any chance?

No ppu 130 sp factory ammo was ok not great.

Thanks, I find their ammunition adequate and workmanlike with a bonus of quality brass for reloads

Thanks all. Appreciate the responses.

Seems like the Gameking is the one to try first. Cheap and readily available.

The 145gr ELDX has piqued my interest too though. Be interested to hear of anyone else's experience with these bullets.

Will develop a non-lead load too at some point, and sounds like the 110gr TTSX is worth trying.

Sounds like they should all work well with N160 too.

Just getting started on reloading, and looking for a suitable .270 projectile. Will be mainly for hill reds and sika.

Tempted to just crack on with a traditional 130gr SP as they’ve served me well in factory ammo, but as I’m looking to get the best out of my rifle by reloading, I’m wondering if I should be trying something else.

Have looked through lots of old threads, but also conscious there is a general shortage, so looking for recommendations of what’s good, and generally available at the moment.

Sierra Gamekings and Pro Hunters, Nosler Partitions, or something like ELD-X?!

try 110 gr bullets i used them on tons of game when shooting for the billtong trade in south Africa .Quite a few of the stalkers are using them now as well

Lead or Copper?
The Copper punches well above it's weight and holds together, the 110gn V Max is a bit explosive for anything other than head/neck?
