Hornady 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr CX

The Hornady 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr CX is a high-performance bullet component engineered for handloaders seeking lead-free construction, controlled expansion, and exceptional penetration in modern 6.8mm and .270-caliber rifles. Weighing 130 gr with a .277‑inch diameter, the 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr CX uses Hornady’s Copper eXpanding (CX) all-copper alloy design to retain over 95% of its weight and deliver reliable terminal results on medium to large game like whitetail deer, antelope, and hogs.

The aerodynamic design of the Hornady 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr CX features a Heat Shield® polymer tip, streamlined secant ogive, and boat-tail base—combining for a high ballistic coefficient and flat trajectory. When fired at typical velocities between 2,800 and 2,950 fps in cartridges such as 6.5 Creedmoor, .270 Winchester, or 6.8 Remington SPC, the 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr CX exhibits minimal wind drift, consistent downrange impact, and extended effective range well beyond 500 yards.

Constructed from one solid piece of copper alloy, the 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr CX resists jacket-core separation and fragmentation under heavy impact. Its uniform expansion and deep wound channels ensure ethical terminal performance and dependable penetration through dense tissue and bone. Hunters appreciate the 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr CX for its clean kills, weight retention, and regulatory compliance in lead-restricted areas.

Stabilizing effectively in barrels with twist rates between 1:8 and 1:9, the Hornady 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr CX feeds cleanly in bolt-action, lever-action, and magazine rifles. Its polished ogive, concentric jacket, and precise bearing surface support repeatable seating depth and tight grouping. Handloaders value the 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr CX for its consistent accuracy, smooth cycling, and reliable performance across varied powder and primer options.

Manufactured at Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the Hornady 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr CX is sold strictly as a bullet component and must be loaded with matching brass, powder, and primers. With stringent quality checks on tip alignment, jacket concentricity, and mass consistency, the 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr CX stands as an elite monolithic option for hunters and precision shooters who demand flat-shooting accuracy, terminal dependability, and lead-free performance in the 270/6.8mm caliber class.
