I still like 130's for everything. They hit hard as far as you want to shoot the 270.

i don't have any use for the real heavies in a .270, either.  a 140ab was a consideration but with the 130 now out, i doubt i'd ever go there.


would be informative to run a side by side using the 130 partition and accubond in similar medium.  see how the bullet held up.  calculate trajectories from actual velocities and such.  i doubt i'll ever get to it.  i just don't see a partition purchase in my future for experiment sake.

no shame sticking with the 130's.  they've proven to work for ya.

I can tell you flat out, that before I even come close to spending 25,000 on an elk tag, I will be booked for a Safari in Africa. Those would be some mighty high dollar elk steaks on a plate.:rolleyes:

The high dollar hunters wanting boone and crocket trophies to hang on their walls buy the $30,000 tags and they sell out every year,the spring $3500  elk tags also sell.Some guys arten't affected by the recession!
