The Federal Trophy Bonded (essentially the same as the previous TB "Bear Claw") is now being sold as a component projectile.
In .270, you have a choice of 140gr., 150gr.,165gr., or 180gr. I'm pushing 150grs. through mine at about 3100fps with IMR 8208 XBR.
I'd have no problem using for Moose, Elk or Black Bear.

Nice! I'll have to try these at some point.
3100fps with a 150? You shooting a 270wsm?

Well, since there is no 150gr .277" Trophy Bonded Tip....
legions of shooters praise the characteristics of the 6.5x55 shooting long 160 gr bullets and the effective, deep penetration they are noted for.... so whats wrong with loading a 160gr Partition in a .270w ?!?? .... they perform fine.
I agree, I think if you split the difference with a 140 grain accubond at or close to 3000 fps would be great for deer and moose.IMO what makes the 270 good is the fact it spits bullets with comparable sectional densities at greater velocities than its 30cal counterparts (130gr and 150gr 277 pills have higher SD than 150 and 180gr 308 pills, respectively). Sure, the SD on the 160 is nice (barely less than a 200gr 308 pill) but I can't help but feel like you're giving up too much velocity at that point. I feel like 130-150gr is the sweet spot for the 270 for that combination of SD and velocity. Not saying a 160 won't work, I just feel like it is too heavy for what the 270 excels at.

I would use Barnes bullets
