100 grain 270 bullets

[NE_hunter]

I found some 100 grain loads made by remington, and thought about using them for varmits. I was just wondering if anybody has used them before and what were the results? And no they are not the managed recoil loads

[Bowhunters]

Varmints or just out shooting targets is probably all that 100grain 270win ammo is really good for, you didn't say what ammo type it was but most of that really light 100 gr. stuff in 270 is very cheaply made with a thin copper jacket and isn't made to hold together on big game.

[DocHolladay]

The 100gr is made for varmints, like he talked about shooting, thats why the copper jacket is so thin. I havent shot them, but I think they will work for the application that you are wanting. Now its just up to your rifle it likes them or not and groups well.

[NE_hunter]

They are made by remington and come in the box that says express rifle. They are a pointed soft point bullet

Does anyone know about the scirocco bullets that remington makes?

[Bowhunters]

Remington Scirroco's are a big game bullet, they have thick copper around the lead core and are designed to hold together when hitting deer sized game so they should work fine.

I believe the smallest they make in the 270win is a 130grain bullet.

[DocHolladay]

If you handload, you can get down to 85gr bullets for the .270.

how come some bullets have a lower or higher grain number?

When you see a box of shells that are 140 grain or 160 grain or whatever the number is, it is referring to the bullet's weight. The lower the grain the lighter the bullet and vice versa. Lighter bullets travel faster and are therefore have a flatter trajectory, the down side is that they carry less energy with them, meaning they have less knockdown power. A heavier bullet is slower but carries more energy. Depending on the caliber of the bullet you can get literally hundreds of different weighted bullets designed for different situtations.

I find it hard to believe that people resond so matter of factly...100 grain .270 is an incredible whitetail round. It's all about placement. after 30 whitetail and only 6 passthroughs, I love this round on Texas whitetail. Sighted in at 2.5 high at one hundred yards has allowed me to harvest a doe only 2 days ago at 253 yards. Did not take a step. They absorb all the energy rather than passthrough shots. Aim at the heart and dont go through unnecessary bone great, flat, and yes, I shot a coyote at 438 yrds. Ability and Placement my friend. Give them a try or sell them to me!
