Hornady American Whitetail 270 Winchester 130gr InterLock SP Ammo

The Hornady American Whitetail 270 Winchester delivers consistent terminal performance with its proven 130-grain InterLock Spire Point design. This hunting ammunition combines affordability with the reliability that has made Hornady a trusted name among deer hunters for decades.

What Makes This Different

The InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together, preventing separation during expansion for maximum weight retention. Unlike standard cup-and-core bullets that can fragment, the InterLock design maintains 80-90% of its original weight while creating devastating wound channels. The spire point profile provides a flat trajectory with excellent downrange energy transfer, making it superior to round-nose alternatives for longer shots.

Key Features

• 130-grain InterLock Spire Point bullet with mechanical core-jacket lock
• Optimized powder charge for 270 Winchester chamber specifications
• Brass cases suitable for reloading with proper equipment
• Muzzle velocity of approximately 3,060 fps from 24-inch barrel
• Boxer-primed cases with non-corrosive primers
• Factory-fresh ammunition with consistent powder charges
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)

Field performance shows excellent accuracy potential in most 270 Winchester rifles, typically grouping within 1.5-2 MOA at 100 yards. The 130-grain weight provides an optimal balance of velocity and energy retention for whitetail-sized game at ranges from 50 to 300 yards. The InterLock bullet expands reliably at impact velocities down to 1,800 fps, ensuring effective terminal performance even at extended distances.
