Changing between ammo loads mid-day etc.

[GloatingKitten]

I have a Tikka T3x Lite Stainless in .270 that I purchased for hunting. Up till now I've mostly used this with a 120 gr load for deer. I'd like to sight in with 150 gr. for getting into larger game mostly Elk.

However, I have a bunch of left over 120 gr. ammo with me. I was wondering if there's any issue switching between the two, even over the course of a day, if this has any impact on the rifle as long as I am aware of the difference in bullet trajectories etc. I don't really want to use a 150 gr on Deer, and don't want to use 120 gr on Elk, but don't want to let all my 120 gr go to waste.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ammo / bullets is the cheapest part of hunting . Don’t lose animals due to ammo .

I would just stick with the 150 for everything. Use up the 120 at the range or sell it.

The point of impact between the 2 different kinds of ammo will be different. I’ve seen some change almost a foot

Just move to 130 grain monolithic (TSX TTSX, GMX) and be done with it.

And 120’s? me thinks you got that’s wrong. Likely you mean 130’s
