For you guys who hunt the larger species of North American big game (elk, moose, bears) and correspondingly large African game with a .270 Win., what are your favorite bullets? Conventional wisdom has always touted the 150-gr. bullets for this application over the 130s or 140s, and there is also the 160 Nosler Partition. With the newer powders now available to us (Alliant Re26, Vihtavuori N560, for example) we can get 3000 fps with a 150-gr. .277 bullet out of a 24-inch barrel, giving the old .270 Win. a new lease on life.
Obvious candidates would be the 150-gr. and 160-gr. Nosler Partitions, the 150-gr. Swift A-Frame, and possibly some of the mono-metal bullets like the 140-gr. and 150-gr. Barnes TSX bullets.
So what .270 bullets have worked well for you on larger big game?
