.270 win good moose bullet?

[bruno]

as title says, looking for ideas for a bullet for my 270. looking for a good moose bullet. would like good accuracy as well, but i know that depends on the gun as well.

 

[RojamB21]

It depends upon the hand behind the gun

 

[teenahlake]

Nosler 150 grain accubonds/partitions

 

[bcsteve]

140 or 150gr TSX

 

[blargon]

140gr TSX @ 3000+fps should do...

 

[ben hunchak]

Any 150 grain bullet that you and your gun shoot accurately, and for Deer; any 130gr that is accurate, neither of these animals are tough to put down. If you are hesitant with Moose I'd up the caliber almost double and get something you can also use for things that fight back.

Can't go wrong with a 150gr Partition or a Speer Hot-Cor unless your 270 likes the 130 grainers. In which case you could still go with a 130 Partition or 130gr TSX. A 270 is more than adequate for a moose as long as you do your part and any premium bullet is accurate enough for moose hunting range. Both my 270's liked the Noslers, Speers, Sierra's and Barnes, but not necessarily the same weights. You just have to determine what bullet weight your rifle likes best.

Have fun developing your loads!

If your shots tend to be on the short side [<250 yards] You might consider the Nosler 160 Partition. These will often exit a moose on broadside shots. Eagleye.

I see Trade ex has some 180 grn woodleigh's . I don't have any data but i'd guess they could be pushed to 2400-2500 fps . & have the SD to kill a tank

 

[dan belisle]

Any well constructed 130 gr or 140 gr will do (Partition, X, bonded, etc) or a heavier weight bullet (150, 160, 170). - dan

This young feller did'nt need anything more than a 130gr. Nosler Partition, to kill this moose:

 

[teenahlake]

Calling that a moose is like calling a pomeranian a dog

Nice to see your kid got one.

 

[Northman999]

My father and I shot them with 150 gr Speer and Sierra boattails. Really, any decent 130gr or larger bullet in the vitals will put your moose down quickly.

 

[Great_White_hunter]

i use InterBonds 150's for black bear i am sure anything 140-150gr will handle a moose... unless you chance on some freak accident of a monster or something.

 

[Dunk]

BarnesTTSX or Hornady Interbond

Is that you LD? Man, your much younger than I had pictured in my mind

 

[Event Horizon]

My Dad has hunted moose for over 25 years with a .270 and the feezer is always full.

 

[07blackwater]

I use 150 grain round nose soft point in mine and it drops everything out to 250 yards.

 

[todbartell]

140gr Barnes TSX would be my first choice
