HORNADY 270 WIN - 130 GR - SST - 20 RDS/BOX
The Hornady Superformance .270 Winchester 130 Grain SST delivers a significant velocity advantage over conventional ammunition, pushing the proven SST bullet to an impressive 3,200 fps for flatter trajectories, harder hits, and more reliable terminal performance on medium to large game.
- Superformance propellant boosts velocity up to 200 fps over standard loads
- 130 Grain SST bullet designed for rapid expansion and deep penetration
- Muzzle velocity of 3,200 fps for flatter trajectory and extended range
- No added chamber pressure, recoil, or muzzle blast vs. standard loads
- Temperature-stable powder minimizes velocity variation in field conditions
- Consistent accuracy with low fouling for cleaner, longer shooting sessions
Who This Is For
This load is ideal for deer, elk, and pronghorn hunters who want every performance advantage their .270 Winchester can offer. Whether you're shooting across open plains or through timber at moderate ranges, the Hornady Superformance SST delivers the speed, energy, and terminal expansion needed for clean, ethical harvests without punishing recoil or extra muzzle blast.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the SST bullet effective for big game hunting?
The Super Shock Tip (SST) features a polymer tip that initiates rapid, controlled expansion on impact, even at lower velocities at extended range. The InterLock ring mechanically bonds the jacket and lead core together, preventing separation and ensuring the bullet retains enough weight for deep, reliable penetration — a critical combination for clean kills on deer, elk, and similar-sized game.
Is this Superformance load safe to use in a standard .270 Winchester rifle?
Yes. Despite the increased velocity, Hornady's Superformance propellant technology achieves higher speeds through optimized burn rate and efficiency — not by exceeding standard SAAMI pressure limits. This ammunition is safe to use in any factory .270 Winchester chambered rifle in good condition without any modifications required.
How does this load compare to standard .270 Winchester 130gr ammunition at longer ranges?
The 200 fps velocity advantage translates directly into a flatter trajectory and higher retained energy downrange. At 400 yards, this Superformance load will hit several inches higher than a conventional 3,000 fps load with the same bullet, requiring less holdover and delivering more energy on target — a meaningful edge when hunting at distances beyond 300 yards.
