The Barnes Bullets 32399 Harvest ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance for medium to large game hunting with its proven 140-grain Sierra Tipped GameKing projectile. This .270 Winchester load combines Barnes' precision manufacturing with Sierra's renowned bullet design for reliable expansion and deep penetration.
What Makes This Different
The Sierra Tipped GameKing bullet features a polymer tip that initiates expansion while maintaining the bullet's ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectory. Unlike standard soft-point designs, the tipped construction provides more consistent expansion across varying impact velocities. The 140-grain weight offers an ideal balance of velocity and momentum for .270 Winchester applications, delivering approximately 20% better ballistic coefficient compared to traditional round-nose bullets.
Key Features
- 140-grain Sierra Tipped GameKing bullet with polymer tip for controlled expansion
- Optimized powder charge for consistent velocities around 2,940 fps from 24-inch barrel
- Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading
- Sectional density of .261 for excellent penetration on medium game
- Ballistic coefficient of .496 for extended effective range
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for reliable chambering

Field performance shows effective expansion on deer-sized game from 100 to 400 yards, with the tipped design maintaining expansion reliability at longer distances where velocity drops below 2,000 fps. The 140-grain weight provides sufficient momentum for quartering shots on elk and similar-sized game while maintaining flat trajectory for precision shooting. Temperature stability remains consistent across hunting conditions from -20°F to 125°F.
