.270 round for Moose and Deer?
I've scoured the internet and haven't found what I'm looking for. My 270 is mainly a deer gun, but also the one I take with me as a backup to my 300wm for moose hunts. Since I gotten into reloading, I'm trying to find what would work best with each of my guns. Since I don't want to sight in every time I switch the ammo, I'm looking for a load that would work for both deer and moose. Right now I have 130grain Hornady SST that work well, I'm just a little concerned about letting it go at a moose. Thoughts or suggestions on a weight that would work for both of these animals?

140 grain accubond, works well on deer and moose. Shot my first bull with this load at 270 yards, and took many a deer with it.

This would work pretty well. I use a 150 grain partition as a do all round - moose, bear, deer.
The wilderness is not a stadium where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, it is the cathedral where I worship.

Don't use SST on moose. Too thin a jacket. I use Partition on moose.

150 grain Nosler partition.
"Camo" is perfectly acceptable as a favorite colour.

150gr core-lokt has put down many a moose and deer in my group of hunters.

I also shoot a .270win. Just picked up a .300wm for moose hunting and had the same thought.
I will likely switch to a 150gr round - whatever groups best out of your rifle. If you re-load, try some different combinations. If your shooting regular boxed ammo, try a few different boxes and see what works best for you.
Most bullets you buy now days hold together and perform well, from my experience.
Lots of time until moose season, hit the range, try some ammo, and have some fun!

Has too much time on their hands
I use a .280 Rem, very similar to the .270 Win. A 150-grain Partition is hard to beat.
