[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1374919, member: 97196"] Honestly I can’t think of any 270 bullet we have used failing do deliver a clean kill unless poor shot placement was involved. Thinking back over the past few years these are the 270 bullets we have taken elk and deer with: Under 500 yards Barnes tsx 270 130gr - 3 bulls, 2 bucks Nosler ballestic tip 270 130gr, 6 bucks Hornady 270 110gr spitzer youth loads, 3 cows Nosler 270 150gr partition, 2 deer (extensive damage) Accubond 270 140gr, 4 deer ABLR 270 (wsm) 150gr, 1 deer Over 500 yards Accubond (not LR) 270 (wsm) 140gr, 1 deer at 1000 yards ABLR 270 (wsm) 150gr, 1 deer That is all I can remember from 270 bullets. The 270 150gr ABLR do require a higher than 1:10 twist at 3500 ft (in my experience) to stabilize and achieve advertised BC. 1:8 works very well. In the end it all comes down to shot placement. A reasonably good bullet and a little good fortune help but not the main ingredient. [/QUOTE]
