270 Win Power-Shok

[holahead]

Have any of ya'll ever tried the Federal Power-Shok 270Win 130gr. If so how do like it and how does it work on game. Just recently got a 270 in a trade and found these bullets for under $10.00 a box. So i picked up a few boxes. Thanks in advance.

I haven't hunted with them yet, but that's what I used to sight my gun in.  1" groups at 100 and 1.5" groups at 200 yards.  If they mushroom like they shoot they will be great.

Same here.  I've not used it on game but it shoots very well in my Savage 110.

If I found any factory ammo for under $10 a box, I would have picked up more than a few boxes of it.  Like, how many did they have?

Value priced ammo that now sells for $15 per box - last years price was $10 for 270,'06 and 308 at Cabelas in my area. Typical economy soft point bullet performance - I would limit my use to mid size deer and smaller game - as in midsize or less whitetails. Accuracy 1.5-2" moa in rifles that shoot under 1 moa with accurate ammo - - IME brass has been good for only a few reloadings. If you don't reload at $10 a box it was an excellent value for the money spent as long as you keep within the limitations. I would switch to Vital shock for serious hunting situations. YMMV
