For hunters seeking a versatile round for medium to large game, the .270 Winchester cartridge has long been a popular choice. Winchester's Super-X line capitalizes on this reputation with their 150gr Power-Point offering. This load pushes a 150-grain bullet to a muzzle velocity of 2850 feet per second, generating 2705 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. Such ballistics contribute to a relatively flat trajectory, which can be advantageous for shots at varying distances. The Power-Point bullet is designed to expand rapidly upon impact, potentially leading to quick, ethical harvests when placed properly.

Winchester .270 Win Super-X PP Ammo FAQ:
The effective range can extend to 300-400 yards for most hunters, depending on their skill level and rifle accuracy. However, ethical hunting shots should typically be taken at closer ranges to ensure proper bullet placement and energy delivery.
While primarily designed for hunting, this ammunition can be used for long-range target shooting. Its high velocity and flat trajectory make it a good choice for practicing at extended ranges, but match-grade ammunition may be more suitable for competitive long-range shooting.
Yes, this ammunition can be used in semi-automatic rifles chambered for .270 Winchester. However, always consult your rifle's manual to ensure compatibility with 150-grain loads.
The main difference lies in the bullet design. The Power-Point is a traditional soft point, while the Ballistic Silvertip features a polymer tip for potentially better long-range performance and more rapid expansion.
Extreme temperatures can affect ammunition performance. In very cold conditions, you might see slightly lower velocities, while high heat can potentially increase pressures. However, within normal hunting temperature ranges, the effects are usually minimal.
Barrel length can significantly affect velocity. Longer barrels generally produce higher velocities, while shorter barrels may result in lower velocities than the advertised 2,850 fps, which is typically measured in a 24" test barrel.
While exact trajectories depend on zero distance and environmental conditions, a typical 200-yard zero might see this bullet drop around 7-9 inches at 300 yards. Always confirm actual trajectories with your specific rifle.
The 150-grain bullet's weight helps it maintain momentum through light brush better than lighter bullets. However, no bullet is "brush proof," and clear shooting lanes are always preferable.
Most .270 Winchester rifles have a 1:10" twist rate, which is suitable for stabilizing this 150-grain bullet. However, always confirm your rifle's twist rate and its compatibility with 150-grain bullets.
While individual rifle performance can vary, this ammunition is designed to provide good accuracy for hunting purposes. Many hunters report sub-MOA groups with this load, but factors like rifle quality, shooter skill, and environmental conditions all play a role in accuracy.
