Looking for some opinions on this ammo, specifically the 135gr load for my 270 Wby. Local shop has 5 boxes on sale($18/box) What type of bullet is this? How does it compare to the loads from PMC, Federal, and Wby. Anyone have a favorite factory load for deer? Thanks for the help.

Cope, I am a 270 weatherby mag lover too but don't think you will get much help for people here as I don't think they are very fond of it. There are some but not many here. For my 270 wby mag It loves factory 150 gr sp It shoots them great. I haven't even heard of them 135 grainers. But that don't mean much though. I just wonder if it can improve upon wby factory ammo? But for that price I would buy them all. I am going to have to try some different factory loads with mine and see what else it shoots good. Mine just shoots 150 gr sp so well I just didn't try anything else. I am not sure what bullet it is but most likely a hornady but don't count on it. Weatherby likes to use the hornadys for some good reason. They just plain shoot in my gun. But good luck to ya.

Hi Cope: Cannot say anything about the 270 Wea. Remington loads, but I acquired ten boxes of the 257 Wea. Extended range ammo with a 122 gr bullet.They printed slightly over an inch at 100.
Don't know why they had to have a weird bullet weight on the Ext. ammo. I have shot two deer, one a doe at about 50 yds. and a 150 lb. field dressed buck at a slightly longer range and I don't believe either heard the shot. First factory ammo I have hunted with in years, but I'm pretty impressed so far...

tried some of the 7mm Wby Rem ammo and found it to be very accurate . I thought the bullets were a special run of boat tail corelok's. The brass is OK and I have reloaded it several times. Just a word of caution,the Rem cases are thicker walled than Wby cases and max loads will be 1 or 2 grs less than with Wby cases.
