270 coyote rounds - 90gr Speer or Sierra?

Sorry, I can not offer any help with the 90g Speer TNT.

If you are so inclined, the 110g V max(and HP)are very accurate with loads of 58g of Win 760(fed 210) and 57g of R#17(fed 215). Also the 110g Sierra Game king with the same loads shoots very small groups. Velocity of these loads are in the 3300-3400 fps with the 110g, and please back off a couple of grains and work up to my loads.

It is not an understatement that the 270 loves the 90g and 110g bullet weights.

I shoot the 110g tipped triple shock for deer, with the same loads and bullet impact never changes from the varmint load, 110g.

I will warn you that you will just about shoot a coyote in half with all these loads.

Thanks for all the info! I can't wait to start working with it. Thinkin I need to buy both 90s and the 110s and start working with all three. Thanks again!

I have been reloading 110 v maxs with 52 gr of 760 win ball powder for my .270...im still new to reloading...have not have a chance to shoot a yote with it yet but I will say it is a very accurate round...gonna start calling after ohios deer shotgun season. Ill definatly let you know how they do if I have any luck.

Thanks for the info! For sure keep my posted on what they do to coyotes. I am new to reloading as well thats why I am very excited to reload for the 270 because I had always been limited to factory ammo before. I got to thinking about it the other night and I have not shot my 270 and almost 2 years since I can't use it for deer in Iowa and I use my 22-250 or 223 for coyotes, so it is time to dust the ol girl off. It even has a new Vortex scope on it that has never been sighted in. Thanks again!
