I was wondering what other people might be using for their 270win. for
white-tails Thanks.

IMR4831 and Nosler Partition bullets. Might not be the most exciting combination but, it has worked since 1980 for me. Mule and white tail deer get the 130 grain bullet, 140's for elk.

Re: 270win powder and bullet combo
I use IMR 4895 powder under 130gr Sierra Game King bullets. Accuracy is quite good, approximately minute of angle out to 300 yards when I'm doing my part. I've not had any white tailed deer go any farther than a few yards after being shot. In fact I use IMR 4895 & Sierra Game Kings in all of my larger bore center fire rifles with great success. I hope this helps.
Shoot straight & often.

Re: 270win powder and bullet combo
You are spot on. This was Jack O'Conner's classic 270 load. He used more 4831 than any modern manual shows and killed tons of game with that load. I shoot two 270 Win rifles and have one shot kills on elk, mule deer(330 yards), pronghorn, whitetail and hogs. All one shot kills and most fell within 5 yards of where they were shot. 4831 and 270 Win were made for each other.

760/414 behind any number of 130gr bullets.
I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.

H4831 and 130 gr. bullet, I use it for everything including elk. Chronographs 3050 fps in my 22" Rem. 700. Works in just about any .270. Of course, start low and work up. I've used up to 62 gr. without any pressure signs but don't get much more velocity so settled on 60 gr.
