[QUOTE="Window, post: 2578909, member: 88485"] As there are many good options, I’ll elaborate on my experience. I bought my first 370 Weatherby 1987 or 88 and started loading for it in 1992. I shot more deer in those first 5 years than I can admit with factory 100gr partitions and not one ever took a step. It was topped with a Simmons 44mag scope and the furthest shot was in the 300 yd range (pre range finder time). In 1992 I started loading for it using Combined Technology Parton Golds in 150gr and loved them as a swapped the scope to a VX3 6.5-20 and bought my first rangefinder (Bushnell). Combined Technology bullets were discontinued and switched to 140gr Accubounds and had great success on elk (longest shot 690) double lung took 5 or 6 steps and was dead. Then in Texas, shooting a doe dead broadside on a feeder at 120 on video, perfect heart shot that exited straight up through her spine. For whatever reason, I considered that a bullet failure and immediately switched one to 130gr Barnes TSX. For several years with 100% successful results on deer and elk and loved them until I saw folks on this forum talking about Hammers and thought I’d give them a try with the hopes of squeezing a little more accuracy out of my beloved 270 Weatherby and holy cow I was impressed. Now for every rifle I own and for a couple of dozen buddies I load for hunting, it’s all Hammers now for over three years. I have no idea now how many animals have been shot with them, but I’ll say unequivocally there hasn’t been a single failure yet. Hope this helps and I hope you enjoy your 270 Weatherby as much as I’ve enjoyed mine. Here’s a pic of the old Combined Technology bullets and a pic of the old girl with her new tube. [/QUOTE]
