270 Win – 130 gr GMX – Black Hills Gold (1C270BHGN4)- 100 Rounds

Lead free hunting rules in California and on some public lands have pushed more hunters toward monolithic bullets, and Black Hills offers a tipped option for the 270. This listing is Black Hills Gold 270 Win 130 grain Hornady GMX ammo, MPN 1C270BHGN4, sold as 100 rounds. It is a premium deer and elk load for hunters who want a tipped, lead free bullet assembled by a respected American ammunition maker.

Retail specifications list this load at 2,950 fps with 2,518 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Hornady GMX, or Gilding Metal eXpanding, bullet is a monolithic copper alloy design with a red polymer tip that improves aerodynamics and starts expansion. It retains most of its weight after impact and penetrates deeply, which gives a 130 grain bullet performance suitable for elk as well as deer. The tip also helps it carry a flatter trajectory. This is hunting ammunition.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 270 Winchester, such as the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70 and XPR, Ruger American, Savage 110 and Axis, Browning X-Bolt, Tikka T3x, Bergara B-14, and Mossberg Patriot. A common question is whether you need to leave jump to the lands for monolithic bullets. Factory loaded ammunition like this is already set to a safe length for SAAMI chambers, so no adjustment is needed. Another common question is how to tell whether lead free ammo is required where you hunt. Check your state and the land manager, since rules vary by state, refuge, and condor range.

Black Hills 1C270BHGN4 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in Rapid City, South Dakota, USA. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and non-corrosive components. The listing ships as 5 boxes of 20 rounds for 100 total from one lot, a supply that lets you zero carefully and still hunt with the exact same ammunition. Keep the remaining boxes together so next season starts with a known zero.
