Got a new Tikka T3 270 and was wondering if any of you'll had any good suggestions or good results from any factory ammo.Thanks for any help and happy shooting/
I tried a bunch of factory ammo.. all 130 grs. Most accurate was the Federal Premium Vital Shock (loaded with Sierra Game King).. next was the Hornady Custom, then the Federal Fusion.
If your game is deer or antelope then any factory ammo is fine.....cheap can be good too! See what works for you!

Winchester Supreme Ammo in 140gr Accubonds, or Federal 140gr Accubonds or TSX are my suggestions. I personally used the Winchester Supreme ammo in my 300WM for 10years and my Tikka T3 LS 270WSM for 2 years till I started to reload the Accubonds.
Good Luck.

I totally agree with that. Pretty much any off the shelf 270 ammo is good for killing anything you'd want to kill with a 270. I'm waiting to try some of the cheap Federal Hi Shok 130gr ammo in my M77. It should do just the trick for deer or antelope.
