just bought a 270 Weatherby Mag and just wondering what bullet is working for others on thin skinned North American game?
Just curious what barrel and twist are you installing ?Mine shot very well with the Berger 150gr VLDH and H1000. Big Az mule deer drop in their tracks. Used it as a backup on my elk hunts. I bought it used for a very low price, it's now in for a new barrel.

Lol, like Tom Petty said "the waiting is the hardest part".23, waiting on a Kreiger 1:9. And waiting, and waiting.
Thanks for the informationI really like the performance of Nosler 150gr Partitions in mine, BUT, for thin skinned game, I get great results with the Speer 130gr Hot Cor or Nosler 130gr Ballistic Tips.
You need a strong bullet for the velocities this cartridge produces, I had many failures with Hornady bullets inside of 100mtr on pigs.
Powders I use are RE22, RE25, H1000 & Retumbo.
Great cartridge choice BTW.
Cheers.
