Nosler Accubond in .270 Win factory?

[dingle]

No love for the .270? Is Nosler producing .277 accubonds any more? This subject has been discussed recently re: 150 for .270 WSM (https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/270-wsm-150gr-accubond.267587/) but I'm running low on some custom .270 Win 140 AB handloads from last season. Tikka T3X in .270 Win. I can't remember seeing any factory .270 Win loads with 140s or even 130s online all year. Norma's bonded in .270 Win isn't available either.

Got me thinking I might just try out Federal Trophy Bonded Tip just due to availability. Thoughts?

I’ve found federal premium 140 ab this year a few times. I add my email to the notify me list and bought it direct.

Consarn it. I signed up for the Federal list too and have nothing in my inbox or spam.

I’ve found them on ammo seek as well but nothing there currently.

I have a couple boxes of Federal Premium 130gr Swift Scirocco II's. Those would be good options as well if you can find them.

I spoke with Federal today and they said they’ll absolutely be producing more 140gr ab 270 soon. Last time they went into production was almost a year ago - I misspoke on my earlier reply, must have found it on ammo seek or somewhere else. They mentioned they’re now producing ammo in large batches instead of filling smaller orders, so when they get around to it there should be a large quantity produced.

Good to hear. Thanks for the clarification. Another member posted some intel from Nosler in another .270 thread here:

"Thank you for reaching out to Nosler with your inquiry below. We’re currently running 6.5-140gr AccuBonds followed by 7mm-160gr AB, 270-150gr AB’s, 270-130 AB’s and then the 270-140gr AB’s up after that so it’s going to be a few more months until we see those again. If you haven’t done so already, we recommend setting up an in-stock product alert on our website so that you’ll be notified as soon as those bullets are available again." 6/30/2022
