[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 744964, member: 10723"] The 270 WSM is a great whitetail, mule deer and even elk caliber. I have owned one since 2002 and I have shot many rounds through it in that 10 years. This is my opinion and it is based on what I have observed and read during this time. There are many bullets that will work in the 270 WSM but I think that the Silver Balliistic and the Nosler Ballistic tip are not good choices. Why? The 270 WSM is a high velocity round with the factory Winchester 130 grain Silver Ballistic producing over 3200 ft/sec in my model 70 Winchester. What does that mean? The ballistic tip will fragment on a bone in a deer or elk and you may only wound the animal. I have seen a 130 Silver Ballistic fragment when shot from a 270 Winchester, at about 3000 ft/sec. There are at least three different bullets that I would shoot out of a 270 WSM. My first choice for deer is the 140 Nosler Accubond. It works well with the high velocity of the 270 WSM. The Barnes TTSX (as has been stated above) will also do a good job and from what I have read the Trophy Bonded bullets will also. I have never shot any game with the Hornaday 130 grains Interbond but I expect it will also work. Winchester at one time sold a 150 grain Power Point loaded for the 270 WSM and from what I have read it worked great on deer and even elk. [/QUOTE]
