for shooting Oryx ---- is .270 WSM ok ?

............ I'm taking a 270 WIN because that is what I have to work with, but I'm also reloading. Since this topic revolves around the 270 I was hoping that some might have a suggestion on a particular bullet. ...........

See which shoots best out of your rifle.
Post #6 above used 130 grain TTSX.
 
..aah, but honorable happy-chappy poster #6 was using his 270 WSM not a 270 WIN.. :heh:

Details, details. "IN" -- "SM"
They are all the same diameter, aren't they? :)

Same Bullet.
Powder and brass were different.

I'll post a picture later this year of one taken with an "IN".
 
The Barnes TSX and TTSX bullets like speed in my experience.
Try both the 150 grain TSX and the 130 grain TTSX and choose the bullet that shoots the best in your gun.

If they are equal, then personally I would use the 130 TTSX bullet in a 270 win.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
