Hornady Superformance .270 Win is undoubtedly one of your best choices if you must abide by lead-free hunting bullet laws. But nontoxicity is only the tip of this cartridge’s iceberg of value!
The Copper alloy eXpanding projectile is precision machined from the very same material it’s named after. It shoots clean and can’t contaminate meat, and its midsection is grooved to reduce bearing surface before continuing on to reduce drag. The CX’s Heat Shield tip similarly streamlines it, and is made of polymer that won’t get bent out of shape by aerodynamic friction.
Its full suite of features is effective enough to bestow the 130 grain CX with a G1 BC of .403, and a trajectory that looks approximately like so when launched out of a 24” barrel: 0yds: -1.5” → 100yds: 1.3” → 200yds: 0.0” → 300yds: -6.0” → 400yds: -17.6” → 500yds: -35.9”.
The CX’s monolithic nature means it is extraordinarily resilient. By Hornady’s estimate, the bullet should shed no more than 7 grains of its weight as it drills deeply through brawny game. That plus reliable terminal expansion delivers the clean kill.
And that’s not all! As a Superformance, this cartridge’s propellant lobs its bullet at a muzzle velocity up to 200 fps higher than another similar .270 round, and it does so without making extra chamber pressure.
