The Aguila 8053AG delivers consistent terminal performance for medium to large game hunting with its proven 130-grain InterLock boat tail soft point design. This 270 Winchester ammunition combines Hornady's renowned InterLock technology with Aguila's precision manufacturing standards. Hunters benefit from reliable expansion and deep penetration across varying shot distances and game sizes.
What Makes This Different
The InterLock bullet construction features a raised ring that mechanically locks the core and jacket together, preventing separation during expansion. This design maintains 85-90% weight retention compared to standard soft points that often lose 30-40% of their mass. The boat tail profile reduces drag for flatter trajectory and improved long-range accuracy. Aguila's consistent powder charges deliver uniform velocities with standard deviations typically under 15 fps.
Key Features
- 130-grain InterLock boat tail soft point bullets for controlled expansion
- Mechanical core-jacket lock prevents bullet separation on impact
- Boat tail design improves ballistic coefficient and downrange performance
- Premium brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for reliable feeding and extraction
- Consistent muzzle velocities around 3,060 fps from 24-inch barrels
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
Field performance shows effective expansion on deer-sized game from 50 to 400 yards, with the InterLock design maintaining structural integrity through bone contact. The 130-grain weight provides an optimal balance of velocity and energy retention for the 270 Winchester cartridge. Accuracy typically ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 MOA in most hunting rifles, with some precision barrels achieving sub-MOA groups. The boat tail configuration maintains supersonic flight beyond 500 yards in standard atmospheric conditions.
