Folks,
I have a nice but very finicky .270 WSM. To date I have found only one factory round that it really loves: the now discontinued Federal Premium Trophy Bonded Bearclaw in 140 grain. Federal has replaced with the trophy bonded tip bullet. I do not have any experience with that offering yet and don't know if it will live up to the other loads' performance. I was also hoping to try Winchester ammo. In the past I have always relied on Federal or Remington and none of their other offerings work as well. MOA, complete pass throughs and exit wounds between the size of a quarter or half dollar. Most deer dropped at the shot or within five yards. Trouble with WSM stuff is it is just too expensive to drop $50-60 just to check out a load. I unfortunately do not reload. Thanks for input.
