270 Win - 100 Yard AMMO TEST 

I think the reason why your getting 2 million views a month is because you get straight to the point in your videos. You don't drag it out for 10 minutes.

.270 is probably my all time favorite. It’s definitely interesting to see those Winchester loads hitting in the same spot. I’m a big fan of the Winchester 130 grain soft points. Never failed me on a white tail.

Don't deer hunt anymore but did a lot for many years and .270 was my favorite. And my favorite gun among them all was a Remington ADL. Dropped many of them with that little gun. Never a miss and never more than one shot. Now days I feed my little herd of em here at the house and cuss em often for eating my plants. hahahaha

I've heard more than once that .270 often prints 130 and 150 grain loads on top of each other or darned close at 100 yards. If you can have a 100 yard 150 grain "brush" load and a 130 grain longer range load that prints right with a common zero that's great.

I have to try to not drool when I see your Weatherby...it is so sweet.

Thank you for that terrific .270 video. Your video right now is the best rifle,ballistics,sighting in video I've seen,bar none. Man you went right at it. Years ago,I was going on my first elk hunt in Colorado with two business friends. I bought a Remington 700 ADL in .270 Winchester in the black laminate camouflage. I read all of Jack O'Connor books and Jim Zumbos "Hunt Elk" and a host of others. I had already known about the Premium bullets. I chose a Nikon Monarch scope in 3X9 power. I bought the Nikon over the Leupold due to the Nikons better clarity AND lighter field of view. I figured the Nikon would give me 15 minutes more shooting time. Couldn't afford Zeis or Swarovski at the time. The Winchester "Fail Safe" bullets were out then and I thought I'd buy then along with Federals .270. I took them to the rifle range where they had targets out to 300 yards. I did the same thing you did here. The Federal grouping was like your Winchester 130X first time,bullet holes all touched. DAMN was I impressed. The "Fail Safes" crapped out. Now,I let the rifle breathe for a good 30 minutes to cool. Didn't matter. The bullet holes were widely gapped with no 2 close. I couldn't believe it. This was Winchesters own rifle and own ammo. What gives? I double checked all screws on the Leupold Dual Dovetails and mount, but none were loose. I fired again getting the same results. I was really bummed out. Even imagining the size of the elks lung kill zone over these bullets, no way I could see bringing the Fail Safes to Colorado. The end of that story was I saw raghorn young bulls,cows but not one shooter. Fritz blew a 75 yard first day shot at a good bull with his .340 Weatherby that he bought off Paul,our fellow elk hunter. Fritz had never shot any caliber higher than his Dads .35 Marlin here in Pennsylvania. Paul blew a 150 yard shot at a bull first day also. Neither saw another shooter. When I came home I told the story to the owner of the store I bought the scope and ammo from.I knew him well and thought he would have a good reason the Fail Safes performed so miserably. I'm sure you all know what he told me. "Some rifles LOVE this bullet,and scatter others". Fail Safes disappeared from the market and I know why. But thank you for doing this video so now I know the best .270 bullet to use.

270 win. My favorite, one of the most versatile calibers for North American big game. I love your Weatherby she Purdy!

My favorite rifle that I own is a 270 Vanguard, I call it my “meat gun” because it knocks down any & everything I’ve ever shot with it. My go to ammo is the 130 Remington Core-loc which unfortunately you didn’t have on your table for comparison. My 50mm Nikon Prostaff complements my perfect hunting rifle... Keep up your informative work, we all appreciate it.

I have a Vanguard in .270 that I've had for 10+ years. Highly recommend it. It is extremely accurate for a hunting rifle with off the shelf factory ammo. No problem hitting a pop can at 250m.

Very well made, thank you bud, I am a 270 fanatic too, my is a sintétic stock but I float the barrel and trigger adjust and it is beautiful to shoot, I use barnes 110 gr. ballistic tip and it do the job on big axis, deer and hogs here in Texas!!!!

Good video. I have done this same test several times with my old ‘06. Federal in every case shot lower than every other manufacturers. Remington 150 gr core loks have always out performed every other rnd, at least in my 70 year old Springfield (JC Higgins) Never lost an animal in 50 years of hunting with them. Dad taught me early on...”one shot one kill”...

I like the Winchester brand; factory loaded cartridges, primers and powder for reloading. Thank you for the post. Blessings. You're up to 175,000 subscribers, too. WaHoo to Who-Tee-Who!

Looks like me at the range last week. Took out my Savage 110 in .270. Since ammo is scarcer than hens teeth, I grab a box whenever I see it. Now I have 2 or 3 boxes of 6 different brands and grains! Had to get to the range to see how it all shot!

What a beautiful rifle. The varnish on that thing makes it look like you just took it out of a display case

270 is a very good cartridge!

Really enjoyed your video. Just traded for my 1st 270 Remington and now because of your assistance, I have a baseline on which ammo and what type of performance to expect. Hear in South Texas, the majority of our deer kills are normally not much more than 100 to 150 yds. Took a decent 6 point at approximately 75 yards with a 308. Keep making those videos. Very informative.

Very nice looking rifle WTW! Great shooting as well brother! Thanks for taking us along and sharing! See you tomorrow!🤘🏽

.270 is a beast. Absolute gem of a cartridge.

Awesome Rifle. It likes just about anything you put in it. You got you a keeper there man.

Great video! I've had good luck with the PowerShok as well. Depending on the rifle.

Great video Wtw, those federals are definitely the way to go, the 130grain ammo is my preference in 270 winchester, the 150 grain are great on elk and mule deer. Thx for sharing

I always enjoy your videos. I especially liked that this one almost used ammo all of the same weight! That is so important. (I understand that sometimes you are forced to use whatever you can get) Almost anyone who shoots alot has seen for themselves that different brands of ammo will shoot differently but THIS test really proves it!👍 That fact still amazes me, even after hundreds of thousands of rounds, how a different brand can hit well off of a zeroed center but still post a perfect group! 👌 My Model 70 with Hornady red tip 130 grainers is a laser. THIS was a really fun video! I sincerely appreciate all of the time, hard work, effort, planning & expense that you incur making all of these videos. Thank you! 🙏

Love that rifle. Love the 270 as well. I always have great luck with federal power shock or federal fusion. Both seem very accurate out of all of my rifles

I appreciate your videos man, 270 is my favorite caliber. You alluded to it, and I agree the 270 barrel heats up really fast, and I would have given it some time between different ammo. And also different barrels like different ammo better so you know, it’s not necessarily conclusive that you’re gone like one better than the other, but, it is an idea. I reload so I get a chance to check out a lot of different kind of bullets and a lot of different powder in situation, and I can say for sure different 270s like different bullets and different powder loads. Good job bro!

Nice! I have a 270 and have taken deer with it in fact took my second deer lass year with it the first one with my Remington pump action game master in 30-06. Have a great day.

I have a late 1960's vintage Win mod 70 in 270. We have used 130gr Sierra GK hand loads for generations in our family for deer. They have always been very accurate and very effective on white tails in PA. It's hard to argue with that group you got with the federal ammo. I suggest that you repeat your test just to make certain that you are getting consistent results with a cold barrel. Its funny that you made the comment about it kicking harder than you remember. My dad got a good deal on his 270 in the 1970s because its former owner complained that "kicked too dang hard".

Thank you for your video sir.The 270 Win is an absolutely beautiful sexy cartridge and a very accurate flat shooter. I feel it’s one of those must have calibers like the .223, 243 Win, .308, 30-06 I love the Winchester Mod 70’s chambered in it. Such an awesome trigger pull and controlled round feed. New subscriber here bud. Peace brother ✌️😎👍

Know this is 2yrs old , my 270 vanguard loves the Hornady 130 white tail. My rem 700 270 love 150 core lock , both synthetic stocks. Love your video

That sure is a beautiful rifle, I want one now.

Love that rifle, it goes to show that even the inexpensive bullets can do the job just as well.

I love Federal and so does my Weatherby Vanguard. It LOVED the Federal Fusion and PowerShok. IT did not like the Hornady American Whitetail. But I went out and bagged a massive 278lb hog the other day using the Powershok in .308 and that hog dropped. Love these videos man! Keep them coming!! God Bless!

Adam, I love how you use paper plates for targets. I do too. No need to spend much money on targets. Down to earth!!!

Some groups were great others were ok. All adequate for deer & even elk out to 250 yards. Beauty rifle. 270 is a great chambering for North American big game.

Hey Buddy another informative video. We all learn from your real time down to earth videos. Thanks again.

Dandy gun and I like the Winchester and the Hornady. All the zoomies and making some clickes. Who-tee-who

I have a Winchester Model 70 Super Grade Maple in .270 Winchester and the 130g Hornady Superperformance SST is the only ammo I use now. 3200 fps with my 24" barrel is as good as it gets with commercial ammo. Cheers! 👍

The .270 is a sweet round to shoot. My father bought a M 721 Rem in .270 new in 1953. He got me and the gun I guess for his birthday instead of Mother getting a new couch. That rifle fed us for many years on whitetail. He also took all sorts of predators such as fox, coyotes, and many feral dogs that would kill our livestock (sheep and goats) with that rifle. I also took my first deer with that rifle when I was 6 years old. I took many deer with that gun also and will pass it down. I guess there are better rounds out there but it still runs near the top of the pack. Back then we shot mostly 130 gr bullets. Now I favor Barnes or Hornaday 130 gr. or 140's. I like the way the 120 gr Hornaday shoots.

I have the same rifle in .270 we bought 3. My grandfather, my father, and myself all three shoot very well with anything we have shot through them. Seeing “my gun” was a very nice surprise for me good to see, your getting the same groups that we always have!!

Thanks again Who, good videos for the good ole boys. Gods speed to ya and your family. 👍🇺🇸

Thanks for the video. Great shooting. I have a Caldwell lead slead about 10-15 lbs weight helps with the recoil.

In my Sako .270 I am loading Nosler 130 gr Partition bullet. For deer hunting and wild boars, this is the bullet only type I ever used! The combination works really well. I will send you my score card as soon as I get some large bore primers and can do my first set of reloading!

Great Video , Great Rifle and Scope setup you have .

I just bought my first 270 last week a Browning x bolt 22in barrel and so I bought some various brands of ammo to test mostly 130 an 140 grain in Hornady Super performance and Seira Game King boat tail so I'm looking forward to sighting in a new Leupold VX 3HD 3.5x10x40 Twilight Hunter with 30mm Browning rings. My setup was to have a light weight hunter with a champion cartridge. I suppose this is my Christmas gift so Merry Christmas to all the gun guys out there and to WhoTee Who🦉🦌

Beautiful rifle WTW! My sporter looks the same, but in 30-06...then I have a sporter in satin finish in .243

I appreciate the test with the .270 you don't see anyone do test with that cal much. I use the 130 gr Winchester ballistic silver tips in my rem 700. It shoots those really well.

Ever thought about doing this same 100 yard test but shoot through the chronograph at the same time...just thinking because you have 5 different types of boolets

Like how you test the different ammo, keep them coming.

That's a super accurate rifle! Good looking too!

I have used all kinds of ammo with my 270. And it all did the job but I’ve settled on the win super x 150. Like you I prefer the heavier bullet for my hunting.

40 years ago, doing that with a factory rifle and multiple brands of factory ammo would have been very rare. Great job.

Love the ol 270

It's kind of funny on the hot barrel thing. A major barrel maker thought that the biggest reason the groups grow is because of the heat mirage off the barrel. It makes sense. I reload but it's nice to see a factory ammo comparison. It's a crap shoot whether store bought ammo will shoot good. I like 5 shot groups to get a better idea. I just started reloading for a new 270 I just purchased and am shooting 130 grain Hornady SST's. They shoot good for deer hunting purposes, but I was disappointed they are not all that concentric, and the tips were deformed in packaging. I will be looking for Sierra game changer bullets, or some Berger game bullets in the future. I am far better than buying and testing factory loads with what I have even though I want better. Nice video.

Straight forward, honestly showing how it is. Thank you.

Absolutely Beautiful Rifle and Great Video! Federal power shock 130 or pointed soft point 45 plus years for me ! Never had to track a deer yet ,to be honest I don’t remember harvesting a deer at 100 plus yds ... just being honest

I like how you just measure with your thumb :) Cheers!

Surprised by that federal group, I get to do the same test with my new browning x bolt in 270 the hells canyon model. Can’t wait to see what it likes. Always love the videos!!

I've been away for a week and I'm binge watching WTW videos! Don't tell my wife🤣! Great comparo and now you know what that rifle likes for your next hunt!

Thanks for testing several different ammo types. Saves me on this end. Would prefer putting your chrono up on each. Collect double the info for each shot.

I'm gonna assume the double tap and the winchester super x 130gr are gonna be top contenders.. they performed well back in my factory ammo using days👍

Cracks me up everytime I see these videos that your right on a road with traffic going past lol

I have a Ruger M77 Hawkeye .270 and Federal 150g Power Shock worked best with grouping so far now to get some custom reloading started. 270 is a great round!

I’ve got the exact same rifle in the exact same caliber, love it. Excellent to shoot. 👍

wow I certainly looked at the right video I too am also getting a Weatherby vanguard in 270 win and been doing more research on it i chose the 270 as my first rifle for all round hunting at 400yards or less at first i was stupid enough to want the 300 wby mag lol but lords knows it will be years till im able to handle that calibers recoil hell no but thanks to this video i got a better idea of the caliber im dealing with and what type of ammo is best for it.

That was worth watching again 2 years apart between that beautiful rifle and my favorite Federal Powr Shoks!

That is a sweet setup ! I had a hard time deciding 30-30 , 270 or 308, & then finding one but your video helped so went with Ruger Predator Go Wild 308 now I need to sight in but neighbor put horses in the field I was to use !

Good comparison.... What I came away with in this video is that Weatherby makes and great rifle.

Good video Who Tee, just shows you how good the ammo is these days, all of it looked good to me

I was recently surprised in my Rem. 700 .270 by the Winchester “Deer Season XP” ammo (130 gr.). It shot a best group of 0.625” from not the most stable of rests. You’re right about pricing. That ammo was not the cheapest I tested, but it was on the lower end at $38.99/box. That’s a pretty rifle.

You definitely have a unique rifle being able to group that well with that many different kinds of ammo....

I had browning abolt In 270 I had use the federal premium l 130 gr. Pointed soft point boat tail had my sights set three inches at 100yds. You got too try them out. You put out some good videos keep them coming

Enjoyed this video and subscribed. I'm an old retired New Zealand Forest Service deer culler. Got my first .270, a Sako in 1963. I've put a few thousand rounds down since then. Still have a .270 today at aged 74. Its a very nice Carl Gustaf. I've always been a rough when it comes to ammo, anything cheap goes, so I have watched this with great interest. Thanks for sharing.

I hand load mine with 140gr barns triple shock. Haven't had to track one yet. For paper punching, I use 135gr match kings. They work really well in my rem700.

Thank you WTW . I learned a lot about.270's today.

Thanks for showing us these Winchester 270 loads and their results. I've been a huge fan of the 270 since childhood in the 1950s.

Outstanding video with all the zoom

Got to love that Weatherby....

Enjoyed this video. Not sure why there are not more videos like this out there. I used to have have good luck with Federal Premium before I started reloading. Also I’ve tried a lot of rifles (varmit) over the years. By far my most accurate is my Cooper in 22.250. 41 grains of 414 and Sierra 40 grain HP. It will often shoot 1 shot holes at 100 yards. Great gun

Great caliber, great rifle with awsome accuracy. And for all practical purposes you can load up with one of each of those rounds and with confidence take a shot at a deer/elk size animal out to 200-250 meters.

That's a beauty of a rifle. Hard to take into the woods for me for any songs or damage. As much luck as I have had with the Federal Powershok, it's hard for me to say anything against them.

I was just thinking about all the rifles that either my Uncle made and I have now or that I had made on the Mauser 98 action. Let's see: 6MM Remington, 25-06, 270, 7mm-08, and 7MM Rem Mag. The 6mm and the 270 have taken a lot of deer in years past. Watching you shoot the different ammo makes me want to break these out and see how they do.

That Federal 130gr. is what I've been using the last few years. It's put the last 3 deer on the receiving end of it in the dirt. I like to sight mine in a little high at 100 yds. so I can reach out a little further.

I have to watch when I get home from the BBQ Fest this week. I think I would just zero the scope for whatever I had and call it a day. The Federal is a for real best buy.

I must say that was some pretty good shooting. Regardless of which box of boat you had that was nice. I have a 270 Ruger model 77.

I only shoot federal vital shock in my .270. Federal power shock groups with 6” spread at 100 yards in my rifle. Vital shock groups within an inch at 200 yds

Sierra Game King. Used to reload.270. My son and I used to compete at 200 yards back in the day. Actually both rifles, Remington 700 stock, had cheap cheap Tasco 3x9x40 mounted. Somewhere here in my junk there are several $.25 coins with 3 hits on them at 200 yards. The ammo was very meticulously made- down to hand dropping individual grains of powder onto not your average balance scale. Brass was measured in all dimensions. Bullets were weighed and separated into closet weight groups. That was literally 25 years ago. I'm serious as heck here- 3 shots in a penny at 100 was easy. BUT, I KNOW YOU ARE SHOWING FACTORY STUFF HERE. And my comments aren't relevant but letting people know the .270 is a very fine all around caliber. I've even down loaded them and used lead balls in the case for squirrels, rabbits, skunks etc to keep the noise level down and just something to play with. Enjoy your vids a lot. One beautiful rifle you have there.

Winchester 130 and 150 grain were in my Remington. I ran the 150’s up front and the 130’s behind. I wanted to be on the bullseye when the yardages moving faster and further with the faster 130.

I have the same in a 95/96 year model she loves 130 Winchester silver tips and 140 Hornady light magnums. She really liked Winchester silver tips before they was polymer tipped.

I love the hornady whitetail stuff, in several different calibers

I have a Remington nodel-six pump in .270.... Believe it or not, ive tried quite a few different brands in it... Good old Remington Core-Lokt 130 gr. Shoots moa at 100 yds.. Others, lucky to get a 2-3 inch group.. Never lost a deer using them and have shot deer at 250yds. Most drop where they stand or go no more than 40-50 yds.

4 of 5 are all really good groups fo factory ammo 5th is still decent and rifle is absolutely beautiful

My shirts of yours I ordered turned up here this morning in the post. Thumbs up and shared. :)

that rifle is jumpin up in the front when it fires! probably get even tighter groups holding that muzzle down! :D nice

I deer hunted with a model 70 Winchester in 270 for 20 years great caliber and gun..oh by the way it's hard to beat hornady ammo in any caliber

Sweet rifle! You should try the Barnes 130 gr tsx bullet! It will expand to over 1/2" and seriously drop your deer! I really appreciate your videos! Thank You

I usually hunt with whatever I zero it in with. Got a ton of Remington 30 06 core-loct 150 grain so I use that for deer.

Sierra has always made very high quality bullets. In all the years I have reloaded I have never had a complaint about them. Actually the Sierra GameKing 225 grain bullet for my .35 Whelen is the most attractive bullet I have ever seen.

Great video! Really useful information!

Case in point,, Winchester white box 45 g 223 shoots 3/8" MOA in my 223. When I bought it, it was cheap, but it really shot tight.

I managed to get two boxes of Hornady Precision Hunter ELD-X 145gr for my .270 last week. I'll be testing it at the range soon. I really hope my rifle, a Savage 111, likes it because on paper its an amazing hunting round.

Lol I searched this exact video title on google, and found your video! You’re a life saver ha! Do you have any experience shooting the federal cartridges with Berger or Tsx bullets in the 270? Maybe you could make a video sometime perhaps about it, as there’s so few choices for good ammo in 270 right now. I’ve always loved the 270 tho. Never have had to track a deer shot with one.
