Hunters who take their 270 after elk, black bear, or big-bodied whitetails often choose the heavier 150 grain bullet for extra penetration. This listing is Winchester Super-X 270 Winchester 150 grain Power-Point soft point ammo, MPN X2704, sold as 200 rounds for hunting camps, outfitters, and hunters who want to practice with the same load they carry.
Winchester rates this load at 2,850 fps with 2,705 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Power-Point design uses an exposed lead tip and a jacket notched near the nose so expansion starts quickly, with a heavier base to keep the bullet together. Compared with the 130 grain 270, the 150 grain bullet gives up a little speed but carries more weight for deep penetration on larger animals. This is a hunting load for deer, elk, and black bear at normal hunting distances.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 270 Winchester, including the Winchester Model 70 and XPR, Remington 700, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage 110 and Axis, Tikka T3x, Browning X-Bolt and BAR, Weatherby Vanguard, Bergara B-14 Hunter, and Mossberg Patriot. A common question is how a 150 grain bullet’s point of impact compares to a 130 grain bullet. Expect a slightly different point of impact, so re-zero when you change bullet weight. Another common question is whether 270 Win and 270 Weatherby Magnum are interchangeable. They are not. The Weatherby case is a larger belted magnum, so match your barrel’s marking.
Winchester X2704 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, so your zero stays the same from practice in August to the last day of the season. Confirm your scope’s zero after travel, especially on hunts where a single shot may be the only chance.
