[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 146598, member: 2011"] [ QUOTE ] hello, I am looking for some unbiased opinions of the 270 win. I am currently shooting 150 gr nosler partitions on top of 57 grains of IMR 7828. [/ QUOTE ] Any one who is a dedicated 270 Win shooter will never say anything 'unbiased'. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I shot a young bull moose w/130gr sierra (MV 3190 FPS). I did the heart shot @ about 70 yards. Complete penetration, through the heart. The effect was about like shooting a house. Nothing happened. A little later I shot through both shoulders. Again complete penetration and it slammed him to the ground. I have no idea of the MV of your load. But from what I've seen from 7mm Rem Mags w/ 160s @ 2700-2800 FPS MV, I would have taken the shot. In your situation, as it was at the time, I would have been concerned about hitting bone but that's after hanging around this board for a couple of years. Before that I wouldn't have worried about it. The next time you get in that same situation, shoot da moose. I'd put one in the boiler room w/a 140gr bullet out to say 500 yds and feel confident that the combination would do the job. [/QUOTE]
