The 130 grain bullet at over 3,000 fps is the load that made the 270 Winchester famous as a flat shooting deer cartridge. This listing is PPU 270 Win 130 grain soft point ammo, MPN PP2701, sold as a 200 round case. It is a practical pick for deer hunters who want a value priced load that shoots flat in fields, clearcuts, and open country.
PPU rates this load at 3,060 fps with 2,703 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The lighter 130 grain bullet leaves the muzzle faster than the 150 grain version, which means less drop at longer distances and a slightly milder recoil. The soft point nose expands quickly on deer, pronghorn, and similar medium game. Because it is designed to expand, it is a hunting load and not a match or plinking round.
This ammunition works in rifles chambered in 270 Winchester, such as the Winchester Model 70 and XPR, Remington 700 and 783, Ruger American, Savage 110 and Axis, Browning X-Bolt, Weatherby Vanguard, and Tikka T3x. A common question is how far a 270 with 130 grain bullets can be zeroed. Many hunters zero 2 to 3 inches high at 100 yards, which keeps the bullet within a few inches of aim out to roughly 250 to 300 yards, but always confirm drops in your own rifle. Another common question is whether 270 Win and 270 WSM are interchangeable. No. The WSM is a short magnum with a different case.
PPU PP2701 is new production ammunition, not reloads, loaded by Prvi Partizan in Serbia. Each cartridge uses a reloadable boxer-primed brass case and non-corrosive components. This case ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total from one lot, giving you enough consistent ammo to practice through the summer and still fill your hunting pack in the fall. Buying the full case also lowers the cost per round compared with single boxes.
