I would try the 130gr TSX 1st and if it shot well I would never look back.

If the 130gr TSX out of your 270 WSM won't kill it you need a whole lot more power than just moving up to 150gr bullet!

Seriously, I think the 130gr TSX and the 270 WSM is a terrific set-up unless of course you gun doesn't shoot them well. Make sure you get all the copper cleaned out of your barrel before trying them.

Good luck.

It surely sucks, having to plan things in such a rushed manner is'nt it.

As mentioned, what ever shoots best in your rifle. I had always used Winchester Supreme 140gr Accubonds in k y 270WSM's until I started to reload - reloads of 140gr Accubonds. More than adequate. Great bullet.

The 130 TTTSX's or TSXs from Federal would be good too. Nothing wrong either with the XP3's, but I have never tried them...wish you could get the bullets to reload them..but that will never happen.

140 grain TSX is what I shoot for hunting in my 270 WSM. You don't have to worry about lead in your meat also!
