The Speer Impact TB277H1 delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for .277 caliber hunting applications. This 150-grain tipped bullet features Speer's advanced plated construction that maintains weight retention while creating devastating terminal performance on medium to large game.
What Makes This Different
The Impact bullet combines a polymer tip with a plated jacket design that outperforms traditional cup-and-core bullets. The tip initiates reliable expansion at velocities as low as 1600 fps, while the electroplated jacket prevents core separation that commonly occurs with standard hunting bullets. This construction delivers 85-90% weight retention compared to 60-70% typical of conventional designs.
Key Features
- 150-grain weight optimized for .277 caliber cartridges including 270 Winchester and 270 WSM
- Polymer tip ensures consistent expansion across velocity ranges from 1600-3200 fps
- Electroplated jacket construction prevents core-jacket separation
- Boat tail design improves ballistic coefficient and long-range accuracy
- 85-90% weight retention maintains momentum for deep penetration
- 50 bullets per box with 5 boxes per case for 250 total projectiles
- Crimping groove allows secure bullet seating for handloaders
Field testing demonstrates the Impact bullet's effectiveness on whitetail deer, mule deer, and elk at ranges extending beyond 400 yards. The controlled expansion creates wound channels 1.5-2 times bullet diameter while maintaining straight-line penetration through heavy bone and muscle. Temperature stability from -40°F to 140°F ensures consistent performance across hunting conditions.
