chuck375Sierra 90g HPBTs out of a 270 Weatherby
Hi, I've used the 90g HPBTs for many years in my BDL in 270, bought a used 270 Weatherby a few months ago. I plan to try IMR 4320 and IMR 4350, looking for a leisurely 3600 fps (well under max). Anyone else shoot these in their 270 Weatherby? Thanks!

2ndtimerDon't have a Weatherby, but have used both the Sierra 90 gr HP and the Speer 90 gr TNT in my .270WSM. Both performed very well at the 3600 fps level, using IMR-4350 and Reloder 19. I would be surprised if you don't have similar results.

45-70 shooterBoth the Sierra and TNT will about cut a Yote in half when paced between "wind and water".
Decades ago, I used the Sierra on Chucks back East. PETA would not not approve. "Kathowp" and your boots got messy burying them back in the burrow.
Usually very accurate as well.
