What .270 load do you guys recommend for boar? I have a Winchester 70 in .270 and so far I've got 130 and 150 grain bullets.

Either. They're not armor plated. Shot placement still works. My son waited for 3 to line up, and shot them all with one 130g bullet.

The 130-grainer will be just fine.

:cool:

Either bullet weight in 270 will work very well for hogs. I'd choose whichever one is most accurate, and stick with it.

Shot a pig with a 130gr. TSX, dropped in its tracks. Shot was 185 yds. with a Ruger M77.

I've had great luck with 130gr. Accubonds. They don't usually exit so the pig gets it all. Impressive wound channels.

[MCgunner]

I concur, either is fine, pick what's accurate.

Shot placement is far more important than cal or round itself. I personally want as close to DRT as possible on hogs, especially big hogs. Not a lot of fun getting a big wounded hog out of thick brush. Make sure you know where to shoot them. Heart and lungs are placed a little different on a hog than on a deer.

They are a little more forward with the heart being lower.
