270 ammo??

[pilar]

With me now taking a 270win , my mind is having a tug a war between taking 150gr Norma oryx or Barnes 130 ttsx ? Or maybe something else that folks have been successful with in factory load.
kudo and smaller game as I will have a 375 for heavys.
or will 150gr C&C like S&B , federal, Winchester, Remington work ( if it’s more accurate in this M70 pre64 featherweight)

I would take what your rifle shoots best. I used my outfitter’s rifle in 30-06. He had S&B 180gr SP ammo and it dropped everything I shot with it up to my Zebra. At home I use Norma Oryx and have had great results with 30cal 180’s and 35cal 250gr, on bears and whitetail deer.

Either of those should be fine
I like the 150 A frame in my 270 - worked excellent on everything including kudu.
I also loaded and used 150 partitions - same outcome.
I’m taking my 30-06 and 375 this July for another trip. Will be using 180 gr oryx in the 30-06, I haven’t used this bullet for hunting before but I’ll report on the oryx performance. From everything I’ve read it’s a great bullet.
The Barnes TSX are a great bullet and I’ve used that in 30-06 - solid choice for sure

I killed a lot of critters with Hornaday SST and ELD-X in my 270. Very accurate, affordable and usually available. If I was hunting something large, like an elk, 150 gr Swift A Frame is what I would use. Actually, for elk, I would use my 338 WM.

I’ve had great success with 150 grain nosler partitions loaded by Federal. I have killed large mule deer, over 300 lbs without issue with that set up.

I have never taken my 270 to Africa but would not hesitate to use that setup on animals up to Kudu sized, with proper shot angle and placement.

For hunting deer and pigs here at home I use 130 interlocks by Hornady, they preform very good and are affordable and available.

Try the new Hornady CX 130 in the Superformance. You will be impressed.

I’ve taken a .270 win to africa twice. We used barnes 130 gr ttsx. It worked up to Eland (close shot) and giraffe (neck shot).

Get close and it will work fine.
