[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 2351806, member: 104437"] @ Westdreamer,.. The .270 WSM, Kills,.. very well ! IT's very close to, the 7 mm Rem Mag with, 140 to 154 grain Bullets,.. IMO. I've used both, the 140 Accubonds and recently, a 140 Classic Hunter to, Kill Elk with but, none of, them have been at, very Long, Range ! Berger and Nosler, says that, their Bullets will, "Expand / Mushroom" down to about, 1,800 FPS ( IIRC ), personally I use, 2,000 FPS as the END of, the "Range" for, most of, the Bullets that, I've used. That's 800 Yards Max. for, the 140 gr. Cl. Hunters W/ a BC of .528 and a starting, Muzzle Velocity of 3,185 FPS @ 6,500 Ft. Elev. ( I don't worry about, Ft lbs of, Energy ) Bullet Expansion and Penetration are my main concerns, THAT, and MY ability, to "Hit" the Elk in the Right spot from, Field Positions. Judging, the Wind and getting a steady Hold, determine, MY Max. Distance. Some Days, it could be, 750 yds Other days, maybe, only, 350 yards. A month and a half ago, I Shot, a 5 " dia, 700 yard, 5 shot group, Prone with, this load, in LIGHT Wind, a week later, the Wind was blowing 35-40 MPH where I practice, in the rolling hill, Desert country and 300-350 yards was a serious, "Challenge" to hit those, 10-11 inch dia. Steel Plates ! The 150 grain AccuBond, should kill about, as far as you can Hit an animal, with it, but the Accubond's BC Numbers, are NOT quite as high, as Nosler states ( I found that, the 140 gr. AB's, real BC # to be in, the .480-.482 Range ). I'd Test and Verify your Bullet at, several Distances to be, SURE. I use, 65.7 Grains of, IMR 7828 SSC, F-215 Pr. with, the 140 gr. Bergers at, magazine length COAL, in my Tikka. You should be, safe to start at, 59 to 60 grains of it with, the NAB 150's ( Longer Bearing Surf and Heavier bullet than, mine ) and "work up" at .2 to .3 tenths to, an Accurate / Safe Load.
