For a 270 but I would look at the classic hunters. They usually are easier to get to shoot and they have higher BC then the standard vld. The 140 classic hunter would be my choice but 130 classic hunter are great too .

I had good results with the 150 HVLD.

55 gr H4831.
Win brass
CCI 200

Not super fast but very good accuracy.

First thing is to determine your actual twist rate then go from there, I've had excellent results from the 150's and 170's.

Ditto!

do you have a quicker twist or did the 170gr work for you in a 1-10 twist ?

 

[bigngreen]

No, the 170's I've only shot in 1-9 or 1-8.5 twists, the 140 and 150's shoot very well in the most common twist.

H4831SC with most 130 gr bullets is outstandingly accurate.
