[QUOTE="thomasbangs, post: 1446769, member: 49922"] For about the last 40 years I have loaded for 6 different .270 Win., a 700 Rem. ADL, a push feed Mod. 70 Win. 2 Mod. 70 stainless classics, a pre- 64 Mod 70, and a Weatherby Vanguard 2, between my 4 sons, daughter-in-law, grandson, and myself we have harvested several dozen deer and several elk, my next to oldest son has harvested around 15 elk with 2 different .270 Win's, all with one shot. The last elk I harvested with my .270 Win. Mod 70 push feed was at 305 yds., one shot, the farthest I have shot a elk. Almost all of the 270's I have loaded for will shoot nicely with anywhere between 54 and 55.5 grs. of IMR 4350 behind a 130 gr. bullet, both the Mod 70 stainless classic and the Weatherby Vanguard 2 will shoot sub minute of angle 5 shot groups from the bench with 55.5 grs. of IMR 4350 behind a Speer 130 gr Spitzer Boat tail in Win. cases, this load produces 3038 fps with extreme spread of 37 fps out of 24" barrels. Sierra, Nosler, and Win. 130 gr. bullets shoot very well also and work especially for deer and smaller animals, but the Speer 130 gr. SPBT is my choice when using a .270 Win. on elk. I will add that this bullet gets complete penetration on the elk I have seen harvested with it and almost never recover a bullet. [/QUOTE]
