.270 WSM I reload for using Nosler 140gr Accubonds. Pretty interesting that the first 4 posters on this thread are all using a .270 bullet. I'm sure the 30-06 guys will get here shortly.

Post Re: Rifle Ammo
You guys looking for some new ammo to try should take a good look at the Nosler Accubonds. They're as accurate as a ballistic tip but stay intact like a Partition almost always guaranteeing an exit wound. I know a premium bullet isn't needed for deer but when you really think about it, ammo is the cheapest thing when you factor in all other costs so why skimp on it.
