.270 Short Mag = Meat tenderizer

[Junfan]

The 270 short mag is a powerful cartridge and needs a tougher bullet than the gameking in my opinion....but you found that out. :) Shoot a tougher bullet and you will love the results.

I had a doe come within 20yds and stop on Saturday and did'nt want to shoot it cause I knew what it would look like afterwards!
EFBell recommended Accubonds so I'm gonna give them a try if I get to red-tag this year.

[bigngreen]

I had excellent results with the 140 Accubonds running 3341fps. I also used the 140 Berger (3300 fps) on an elk and was very pleased with the results, it went in and blew a hole through the heart and lungs without any meat damage.
I never got a shot on a deer with the Bergers but I expect they will do well after seeing how they work.

shot 3 deer this year with 110grn barnes ttsx very happy with results, none took a step. but i scewed up on the last one in a hurry when i left cabin and grabbed 3 110grn v- maxx, took her one white spot below chin at about 100yds wow what an exit hole. nothing left from the throat back. sorry no pics, and no recovered barnes.

[bigngreen]

I added the 110 TTSX to my list, I got them shooting real nice around 3700fps. I'm using them for coyotes this season to see how they work. I was looking at the V-Max also but I don't need to blow them away like P-Dogs.
I think the 110 TTSX would do some real nice work for close to medium range deer.

I don't think those are for hunting. Use any good HUNTing bullet for thin skin game. Use the cheap corlock Remington 130 grain for the 270 used it 30 years, then went to the WSM a little faster but same results. The Balistic tip winchester will do the same thing if you hit a bone. Loco

Check out the ballistics of the 270 win and the 270wsm with 130 grain bullets the wsm beats the win by 1 fps with 2.5 grains more powder.
I was really disapointed in the wsm if I had it to do over I would have never bought one.
just a gimmic to sale more guns. Yes it is shorter than the 270 win big deal.

Okie,

What load are you using? I was getting 3300 fps out of mine with 140 gr. Accubonds.

[okie2]

130 grain
reloader 25 65.0 grains 3299 fps max load

140 grain
reloader 22 59.0 3112 fps max load

how are you getting 3300 with 140 grainers??

[pa hog]

The 270WSM will abSOlutly smoke anything the 270Win with Reloader17

[okie2]

So give us this hot wsm load you have.
I have never had any RL17 so i don't know what it will do but I have read it is possible for it to burn throats quicker than other powders.

[BrentWin]

I got 3300 with 73 gr. MagPro in a 26" barrel. That is below Accurates book max, but was as toasty as I cared to go. MagPro is very temperature insensitive. I shot this load from 25-90 degrees with no noticable change.

74 gr of Magpro with 140 TTSX = 3375.

I shot a coyote last fall with an 85 grain HPBT SGK from my 6mm284. It scattered it all over the hill side. Looked like it swallowed a grenade.

I neck shot an antelope buck at 200 yards, nothing unexpected. Bang, flop.

Shot my antelope doe in the shoulder at just over 200 yards. Busted both shoulders and she was DRT. There was a lot of jacket material scattered throughout both shoulders and I lost a lot of meat.

All in all the bullet poleaxed everything I shot with it, but it was a bit rough. After I shoot up the rest of them, I'll probably switch bullets.

I would have thought the .270 version was more heavily constructed than the six, yet the results look eerily familiar...........

aNY ONE KNOW HOW MUCH DAMAGE WIN. 130GR. XP3'S WILL DO. RICH

but can you get an AR-15 chambered in 270?

Olympic now makes what they call the game stalker series chambered in 243 wssm, 250 wssm, 270 wssm& 300 ossm (wssm opened out to 30cal)

[okie2]

74 gr of Magpro with 140 TTSX = 3375.

I looked this load up on ammoguide.com
it says 68.5 grains 140 grain bullet = 3200 fps
also says this is a full case.
so how do you get 74.0 grains in it?
