The Hornady Superformance 270 Winchester 130-grain CX ammunition delivers 100-200 fps higher velocity than conventional loads while maintaining accuracy and reducing barrel wear. This copper alloy expanding bullet technology provides superior terminal performance for medium to large game hunting applications.
What Makes This Different
Superformance propellant technology achieves higher velocities without increased pressure, extending effective range and improving trajectory. The CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet construction eliminates lead while maintaining controlled expansion and deep penetration. Unlike traditional copper bullets that may sacrifice accuracy, the CX design maintains sub-MOA precision in most quality rifles.
Key Features
- Superformance propellant increases velocity 100-200 fps over standard loads
- 130-grain CX copper alloy bullet with polymer tip for rapid expansion
- Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations nationwide
- Optimized for 270 Winchester chambered rifles with 22-24 inch barrels
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and enhance feeding
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for consistent performance
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case configuration
Field testing shows this ammunition maintains velocity and energy at extended ranges, making it effective on deer, elk, and similar-sized game out to 400 yards. The copper construction provides 95-99% weight retention while creating devastating wound channels. Temperature stability remains consistent from -20°F to 125°F, ensuring reliable performance across hunting seasons.
