Hornady Outfitter 270 Winchester 130gr CX Copper Expanding Ammo

The Hornady Outfitter 270 Winchester ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance in demanding hunting conditions where standard lead-core bullets may fail. This 130-grain copper alloy expanding (CX) bullet maintains structural integrity through heavy bone and tissue while providing controlled expansion for ethical harvests.

What Makes This Different

The monolithic copper alloy construction eliminates lead fragmentation issues that plague traditional hunting bullets. Unlike conventional jacketed bullets that can separate upon impact, the CX bullet retains 95% of its original weight while expanding to nearly twice its diameter. The polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,600 fps, ensuring reliable performance at extended ranges where velocity drops significantly.

Key Features

• 130-grain monolithic copper alloy CX bullet with polymer tip
• Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion in harsh weather
• Temperature-stable powder performs consistently from -40°F to 125°F
• Boat-tail design improves ballistic coefficient and downrange accuracy
• Lead-free construction complies with California hunting regulations
• Sealed primer and case mouth prevent moisture intrusion
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)

Field testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles with proper scope mounting. The 130-grain weight provides flat trajectory suitable for medium game hunting at ranges exceeding 300 yards. Muzzle velocity averages 3,060 fps from 24-inch barrels, generating 2,702 foot-pounds of energy. The copper construction performs effectively on elk, deer, and similar-sized game without the meat damage associated with fragmenting bullets.
