re: Best .270 Ammo?

I liked the federal blue box 130gr when I was using a .270. They were cheap, shot good, killed stuff good.

Bullet isn't your problem. Any 130gr big game bullet is going to smash deer if you hit them right. A 130gr bullet from a .270 is probably the ultimate perfect whitetail deer recipie there is. Justttttt tough enough to exit reliably and transfers a shitload of energy. If anything, it was too nasty for my liking. Lots of jello meat and just generally a lot of carnage. I started liking tougher bullets that exited 100% of the time and didn't pulverize the whole front half of the deer. Got less bang flops, but good blood trails and wayyyy less mess from 150gr round nose bullets. For context, I shoot deer with a .338 win mag sometimes, and it's less nasty than the .270 kills I see.

If you want premium stuff, basically any bonded bullet will kill deer, shoot well, be expensive, and be hard to find.

Shot placement is your problem dawg
