I am having a hell of a time finding some 130g bullets for my 270win. Specifically the Hornady Interbond and Berger VLD. If anybody knows a source I would really appreciate it. I only need a box or two to hunt with this season.
Pretty sure my local shop has them both, I'll be by there today and double check. If you're having a hard go to find them out there, I can get them and ship to you on your dime if needed.
Thanks for bring to my awareness of the Berger shortage. I have been thinking I should actually do load development this year, but, No.... I can't replace components. Deer will just have to die with adequate loads again!
I have shot 7 mule deer with Nos Bal Tip 270 130 gr between 400 and 500 yards, and 2 mule deer between 300 and 400 yards.
This was with a wimpy load of 50 gr 4895 in 22" barrel 2875 fps muzzle velocity.
They make a small hole going in one lung and a big hole coming out the other lung. The lungs are turned to liquid. The deer either bang flop, or bang, stagger, stagger, flop.
I have not found anything more accurate than Nos Bal Tips. I have had serious problems with VLD hunting bullets. The are great on targets, but can fail on game. Hornady SST is a good substitute for Nos Bal Tips.
The Berger VLD hunting bullets performed well for me last year, but they are very sensitive to seating depth. Thats why I was wanting to try the Hornady Interbond. I have heard that the jacket on the Hornady SST often separates if it hits any bone whatsoever. What kind of accuracy are you getting the with Nosler Ballistic Tips?
Assault116, I may take you up on that offer if you can find some 130g Hornady Interbonds
