Hi guys, last fall I finally got into reloading and started with the .270 Winchester. Thanks to help I got from some of you guys on here I took a really nice buck (5x4) during rifle this year. As of now, a Barnes 130gr TTSX on top of 56gr of IMR4831 is my go to deer load .
Now that I have a good deer load to fall back on, I'm thinking of playing around with the various bullet weights for the .270 before we get busy planting in the spring. By playing around I mean i'm looking at the extremely light and heavy for caliber bullets.
Originally, I was looking at Barnes 85gr MPG bullets. Now, I know these are the frangible type and will only be used for paper/varmints/coyote. After some more digging I found Hawk bullets. They list an 80 gr and 180 gr bullet for the .270. As I said, the light bullets are not intended for deer but the 180gr might make things interesting.
So, does anyone here have any experience with any of these three bullets? Good, bad, powder charges, who to call?I don't have anything ordered yet but when I do it'll probably be the lighter bullets for now.
Thanks
