[QUOTE="Brad Quarnberg, post: 2907353, member: 107866"] I have been reloading for the 270 Win since 1974 (with my Dads supervision because I was still just a young teenager). The 130gr bullets were the most readily available both in factory and as bullets for reloaders. We shot them almost exclusively. In addition, the heavy's (150's and I seem to remember 160s) were mostly round nose, flat base bullets which didn't fly as well as the 130/140 BT's available. Not that the bullets were super great because they weren't, but until the grans slams and partitions came along, the Sierra and Speer were the most readily available. Talking to some of the old timers still around, that was all they knew and many haven't changes and that has been passed down to thier kids. I also think that those readily available bullets are cheap when you compare them to the premium bullets which are often not as easy to find as the lower cost ones. And lastly, as mentioned, the manufacturers load what sells the most and a lot of people just shoot what is easy to fins and cheap. Just my thoughts on the why. [/QUOTE]
