    Finding Ammo for hunting rifle..

    Can not find any of this in any stores and thinking about ordering online from somewhere who has it. Winchester 270 130 grain ballistic silvertip. They go for around $30-33 a box when you can find them here now. Any help appreciated.

    No BTs available but some 270 ammo. MidSouth is a great store to buy shooting/reloading supplies.

    Those ballistic silvertips are some of the worst grouping ammo I've ever seen in every caliber I've shot it in. I'm surprised to see someone has luck with them.

    Lol, probably....but I can say, if you make contact, they do some serious damage.

    That’s the thing about rifle ammo. What one hates the other loves. Have to shoot it to find out!

    I quit using that stuff a long time ago. They open up quicker than a plain soft point. They might be a good choice for longer shots after the velocity drops but they are too soft for in close shots with faster cartridges IMO.

    I just shot 6 inside a 1/4" group with my browning xbolt max long range in 6.8 western. Pretty excited to pound an antelope in 39 days

    It seems like the Ballistic Silvertips in.270 or .270WSM are not in stock anywhere.

    Look at Lehigh Defense, recently acquired by Wilson Combat, here's a video of their ammo which is pretty unique.

    I found factory loads to be somewhat lacking. So I started reloading my own. And the difference was amazing. I shot enough different bullets to find the best performance loads. There is a better choice of bullets when reloading. My choices are for specific game. I shoot a 30-06 and Nosler Partitions along with Hornady cx. I know that a lot ammunition is harder to find these days along with the higher prices. my bullet choices are mostly based on deep penetration to reduce mass muscle damage and yet drop the animal quickly. Each rifle shoots different than others. Finding a round that groups tight and performs at distance can take some bench time and money seeing some ammo is at $30.00+ for twenty rounds when it can take around six rounds to get possibly a good grouping. Good luck.
