Which 270 bullet for moose?

[a_slugs_life]

I'm shooting Federal Power-Shoks in 150 grains, the box says they run at 2850fps. I wish I could tell you how they perform on moose, but I have yet to get a shot at one. They group at about 3/4" at 100 out of my Tikka.

My uncle has taken a few with his .270 (before someone broke into his house and stole it) and as far as I know he's been shooting federal 150 grainers, none of which went no further than 50 yards.

A boiler room shot with any soft point at a decent velocity is going to send any moose to the ground.

With all the discussion on the 270. Which I've just bought for moose. Glad to hear they'll put them down.

What has been your experience with bullets.

Whats the best ones (factory loads) for moose in a 270.

I have dropped a lot of moose with plain old 130 grain Hornady soft point ammo in the .270.
150 would probably kill just as well.......

I found with my wifes Belgium Browning 270, there were a lot of bullets it did not like. Right now she is shooting Federal 130 grain Power Shock.

Check the load book, find the heaviest round nose bullet available , and load that
here's an option

get 150 gr a-frame and you are good to go.

150 Nosler partitions would be fine.

I would try a 140 gr Barnes TSX. If that didnt shoot well, Id try a 150gr Partition

Looking for a factory load? Whichever one shot best, preferably 140gr+ but theres no reason the standard 130 couldn't do it just as well.

They both usually shoot and (of course) work well.

140 GR TSX, 150 gr Interbond, Accubond or Partition would be my choices.

 

[Why not?]

Between my wife and myself, we have seen moose go down with everything from 130 gr Winchester Silvertips at 3100 fps to 160 gr Nosler Partitions at 2800.

The 270 just plains works!
