Hornady Outfitter 270 WSM 130gr CX Copper Alloy Expanding Ammo

The Hornady Outfitter 270 WSM ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance in extreme hunting conditions where standard lead-core bullets fail. This premium copper alloy expanding (CX) bullet maintains structural integrity through thick hide and bone while creating devastating wound channels on big game.

What Makes This Different

The monolithic copper construction eliminates lead fragmentation issues that plague traditional bullets in tough hunting scenarios. Unlike standard cup-and-core designs that can separate on impact, the CX bullet retains 95-99% of its original weight for maximum penetration. The Heat Shield tip prevents deformation during flight while the optimized ogive design maintains ballistic coefficient for flat trajectory performance.

Key Features

• 130-grain monolithic copper alloy construction for maximum weight retention
• Heat Shield polymer tip maintains ballistic integrity at high velocities
• Optimized bearing surface reduces barrel fouling and pressure spikes
• Lead-free design complies with California hunting regulations
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable extraction
• Temperature-stable powder formulation performs in extreme weather
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing

Field testing demonstrates exceptional accuracy with sub-MOA groups achievable in quality rifles. The 270 WSM cartridge pushes the 130-grain bullet to approximately 3,100 fps muzzle velocity, delivering over 2,700 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. This combination proves devastating on elk, deer, and similar-sized game at extended ranges while maintaining ethical terminal performance.
