The 130 grain bullet is the load that made the 270 Winchester famous for flat shooting across fields, clear cuts, and open prairie. This listing is Remington Core-Lokt 270 Winchester 130 grain pointed soft point ammo, MPN R270W2 (Remington item 27808), sold as 200 rounds for deer and pronghorn hunters, camps, and anyone who wants a dependable supply of a classic hunting load.
Remington rates this load at 3,060 fps with 2,702 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. At that speed the 270 shoots notably flat, which simplifies holds out to typical hunting distances. Core-Lokt bullets use a progressively tapered jacket that is mechanically locked to the lead core, so the bullet expands reliably and holds together for penetration. The pointed soft point profile keeps the ballistic coefficient up compared with a round nose. This is a hunting load for deer, pronghorn, and similar game.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 270 Winchester, including the Remington 700 and 783, Winchester Model 70 and XPR, Ruger American and M77 Hawkeye, Savage 110 and Axis, Tikka T3x, Browning X-Bolt and BAR, Weatherby Vanguard, and Mossberg Patriot. A common question is whether 270 Winchester and 270 WSM are the same. They are not. The short magnum is a different case, so match the rifle’s marking. Another common question is whether a 130 grain 270 is enough for elk. Many hunters use it successfully with careful shot placement at moderate range, but a 140 or 150 grain bullet offers more margin on large animals.
Remington R270W2 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases and non-corrosive primers. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total from one lot. Using the same lot for sighting in and hunting keeps your zero true season to season.
