270 Win – 150 Gr SP – PPU (PP2702) – 200 Rounds

Hunters who shoot a lot before the season want a 270 Winchester load they can afford to practice with, and PPU fills that role well. This listing is PPU 270 Win 150 grain soft point ammo, MPN PP2702, sold as a 200 round case. Buying a case lets you sight in, practice from field positions, and still have plenty left for several hunting seasons.

PPU rates this load at 2,850 fps with 2,705 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 150 grain soft point is the heavier of PPU’s two common 270 weights. Its exposed lead nose expands on contact while the extra weight helps the bullet push through larger animals, which makes it a good fit for elk, black bear, and heavy bodied whitetails. This is expanding hunting ammunition, so it should be used for game and sighting in rather than steel or paper plinking.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 270 Winchester, including the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage 110 and Axis, Tikka T3x, Browning X-Bolt and BAR, and Mossberg Patriot. A common question is whether the 150 grain or the 130 grain 270 load is the better elk choice. The 150 grain bullet is generally preferred for elk because it retains more weight and penetrates deeper. Another common question is whether 270 Win and 270 Weatherby Magnum are interchangeable. They are not. Only fire this ammo in a rifle marked 270 Winchester.

PPU PP2702 is new production ammunition, not reloads, manufactured by Prvi Partizan in Serbia. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and non-corrosive components. The case contains 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total from a single lot, so your practice ammo and your hunting ammo are one and the same. That matters because a rifle that shoots well with one soft point load can group differently with another brand or weight.
