[QUOTE="270shortmagman, post: 273506, member: 16873"] I own a 270 wsm in winchester 70 and I have never bought a round for it. I reload with 56 grains of H414 with a 140 grain Hornandy interlock. I personally like the accuracy of the 140 grain bullet but will not buy the hornady brand again as I shot 3 of my whitetails this year and dropped 2 of them in their tracks and the other one ran only 45 yards. The problem is the bullet upon impact took a hard left turn in all 3 deer and only exited the other side of 1. One was a 10pt that dropped in his tracks. I also dropped a wild hog at 500 yards. I use a mildot scope in which I sighted in at 1.5" high at 100yards and I can bust clays at 210 yards. When I killed the hog at 500 yards I put the first dot under center (I think that is appx. 12 inches) on the hogs head and blew his head up. I hope this helps you but I think at 800 to 1000 yards you may want to consider a 150 grain which won't make that much difference in the trajectory but will give you a lot more takedown with the extra 10 grains. I have hunted with a 270 winchester for many many years and have killed everything I shot at with a 130 grain bullet. I love this 270 wsm, very impressed with it, I think you will be too. [/QUOTE]
