I just got a Remington model 700 ADL .270. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what bullet to shoot out of it. I have always Hornady SST, but that was out of a 300 mag. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I shoot that gun for years and the best round I found for that gun was a Remington Core-Lokt 130 gr. I have killed everything from elk to deer with that old gun. That round grouped better than any other brand.

the core lokt would probably be a good bullet. I have always used 150 gr Winchester power points with good results. Both those bullets are good for the price. I have also heard good things about the Fusion bullets.

Fusions are good but found them to be finicky. I shoot rem 130 corelok with great results.

Do not shoot balistic tips, as they explode causing poor penetration and a lot of lost meat! When no bone is hit, performance is a sight to behold (bang flop), but a shoulder or rib can cause varmint type explosion/fragmenting if hit at close range.

I have shot a Remington 700 bdl in a 270 for years, and shot alot of deer with it. Taken Whitetail as close as 15 yards, and Mule deer as far as 300 yards. I have always used the Remington core loc bullet in 130 grain. Have never had any problems, or lost deer.Very accurate bullet.
