for shooting Oryx ---- is .270 WSM ok ?

............ I'm taking a 270 WIN because that is what I have to work with, but I'm also reloading. Since this topic revolves around the 270 I was hoping that some might have a suggestion on a particular bullet. ...........

See which shoots best out of your rifle.
Post #6 above used 130 grain TTSX.
 
..aah, but honorable happy-chappy poster #6 was using his 270 WSM not a 270 WIN.. :heh:

Details, details. "IN" -- "SM"
They are all the same diameter, aren't they? :)

Same Bullet.
Powder and brass were different.

I'll post a picture later this year of one taken with an "IN".
 
The Barnes TSX and TTSX bullets like speed in my experience.
Try both the 150 grain TSX and the 130 grain TTSX and choose the bullet that shoots the best in your gun.

If they are equal, then personally I would use the 130 TTSX bullet in a 270 win.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
