I LOVE my Tikka Lite in 270win.

I use Nosler Partition and AB 130s for Deer and 150s for Moose. My 270win shots sub-MOA with them all.

I used H4831 for years in my 270win and only shooting 130gr bullets (Nosler Partition and AB). Then I started Moose hunting and loading 150 Nosler Partition, I had some IMR4831 and gave it a try on the 150's and I get much better groups than with it the H4831sc. Of course that's in my Tikka...

I use both 130 and 150 Nosler Partition in my 270win. I've found best results with 130s using H4813sc and 150s using IMR4831.

I use .308cal 165gr Nosler Partition for Moose.

My wife has been killing Turkey for about 40 years using a Remington 870 and just plain #5 shot. All through a few years ago she's stop using 3" shells. Oh yes, she owns two different 870's. First 870 has just Mod barrel newest has select Rem chokes.

I like #4 or #5 2 3/4 or 3". Works for me whichever I have at the time. Cannot beat a Remington 870.

I've found 180 Accubonds are more accurate than Partitions. Not so much that it would make a difference shooting a Moose at 300 yards or less. But I think Partition are better bullets.

One of my hunting buddies has killed two very large Moose. He uses a .308 with 180gr Nosler Partitions, I don't know his load. I think it's his calling that gets the Moose, he is also the best shooter I've ever meet.

You don't need special ammo for Turkey. My wife an I have been killing them for many years; she uses 20ga 3" #5 and I use 12ga 3" #4.

I've killed 9 deer with XTPs 200/240 & 300. Two from muzzleloader 240's the others were from a Ruger Redhawk with 7 1/2" barrel. I seen no difference in the three weights they all killed quickly.

I have no problem finding 12 or 20ga been reloading them since 1976.

Use two different powders in my 270win, H4831sc and IMR4831. Have good amount of both.

I use 130gr Accubonds in my 270win Tikka they shot great, I'm not a fan of BT's.

I've been shooting Turkeys for years with my 12ga 870 and 16ga Hunter Fulton and I don't use anything special just #4 or #5 shoot. So you might look for regular shotgun shells.
