Why Choose Hornady American Whitetail 270 Win 130gr?
Hornady developed the American Whitetail line around its InterLock hunting bullet. The exposed lead tip is designed to initiate expansion, while the internal InterLock ring helps keep the core and jacket together as the projectile penetrates.
The 130 grain bullet is one of the traditional projectile weights used in 270 Winchester hunting ammunition. Hornady's published 3,060 FPS muzzle velocity gives hunters a factory-loaded option for deer and similar game while retaining the familiar characteristics of the 130 grain 270 Win configuration.
Actual performance can vary by rifle, barrel length and environmental conditions. Hunters should confirm point of impact with the exact ammunition in the rifle they intend to use.
