About .270 Winchester Ammunition
Winchester introduced the .270 in 1925 by necking down the 30-06 case. It offered a flatter trajectory than the 30-06 with less recoil, and it became one of the most popular deer and mountain hunting cartridges of all time.
The 130 grain soft point is the classic .270 load for deer and pronghorn, shooting very flat at long range. 140 to 150 grain bullets add weight and penetration for elk and larger deer.
For elk, choose a bonded or controlled-expansion bullet and keep shots within your skill range. The .270 Winchester remains a versatile, widely available cartridge that suits almost any North American hunt.
Popular .270 Rifles
The .270 Winchester is chambered in nearly every bolt-action hunting rifle, including the Winchester Model 70, Remington 700, Ruger American and Browning X-Bolt. Its flat trajectory makes holdover simple out to 300 yards for most hunters.
