Hornady American Whitetail 270 Winchester Ammunition 130 Grain SST - 80542
The Hornady American Whitetail .270 Winchester 130 Grain SST is crafted for hunters who value precision, consistent expansion, and dependable terminal performance from their .270 Win ammo. Loaded with Hornady’s trusted Super Shock Tip (SST) bullet, this cartridge blends flat trajectory, aerodynamic stability, and devastating on-impact energy transfer, making it a top choice for whitetail and other medium-sized game.
