Hornady 270 130gr SST Bullets

Hornady 270 130gr SST Bullets combine a secant ogive, polymer tip and InterLock construction for hunting. The .277″ bullet weighs 130 grains and has a .460 G1 ballistic coefficient with a .242 sectional density. As a result, it offers a balanced combination of aerodynamic performance, bullet weight and controlled expansion.

Why Choose Hornady 270 130gr SST Bullets?

The secant-ogive profile helps reduce drag and improve aerodynamic efficiency. In addition, the streamlined shape helps the bullet retain velocity as range increases. Therefore, it can support a flatter trajectory and help reduce wind drift compared with a less aerodynamic design.

For reloaders, the secant-ogive shape can also provide useful flexibility when tuning seating depth. In particular, some rifle and load combinations can be less sensitive to changes in bullet jump. As a result, reloaders may have more freedom when finding the seating depth that gives the best accuracy. However, each rifle and load combination responds differently, so testing remains important.

270 130gr SST Hunting Performance

The 130 grain weight provides a practical balance of bullet mass and ballistic performance for suitable .277″ hunting applications. Furthermore, the .460 G1 BC helps the bullet maintain velocity as range increases.

At the same time, the polymer tip helps initiate expansion on impact. In addition, the InterLock ring helps retain the core and jacket during expansion. As a result, the design combines efficient flight with controlled terminal performance.

The .242 sectional density also provides a useful balance of weight and diameter. Therefore, this bullet is a versatile option for hunters looking for a 130 grain .277″ projectile with an aerodynamic profile.

However, terminal performance depends on impact velocity, range, shot placement, game and the individual rifle and load. For this reason, reloaders should always use current published load data for the specific cartridge.
