Thread: ruger american .270 best round to shoot weight/brand type

the winchester 130grn is a good all purpose load...wouldnt consider it an ideal long distance load at all..the 150grn winchester is AWESOME..simply AWESOME for spook n shoot or bush ranges...130grn sst has reputation for blowing up so good for pest control/varmits....personally wouldnt trust them on big reds but if it was all I had would slip one in the crease or neck or not shoot at all. the longer range fellas are now pretty much all using the 145grn hornady loading and the factory stuff seems to be consistant enough SOME folks are just using that as it is for longer range shots.
POSSIBLY use that for that job...and one of the other cheaper winchester loads for run of the mill shooting,with luck your rifle will shoot the two loads close enough together it wont matter.
agree with the sentiment of the above..unless you can consistantly pop a 3ltr milk bottle at any given range(6"x6"...you shouldnt be attempting to kill animal at same range
