I love the ballistic tip bullet. but just FYI, they're a few of the larger hunting ranches here in Texas that will not let a hunter hunt with the ballistic tip ammo. Their reasoning is that on shots that are realtivley close, the bullet is still travelling to fast and the bullet explodes on impact and does not achieve the penetration needed to harvest the animal cleanly.......I do not know if it is true or not, but I DO KNOW that some ranches have outlawed them.......again just FYI


Sound advise above. The 130gr bullets has become married to the .270. I have tried various load workups and my best accuracy is with Rem Core Lokt-130gr over H4831-57g. I shoot a Rem 7600 pump and many users swear by the std Rem Core Lokt bullet. Keep the velocity under 2,900 FPS and the bullet should hold up well. I want to give 140 Accubonds and ballistic tips a try this year.
