Hornady 270 140gr SST Bullets

Hornady 270 140gr SST Bullets combine a secant ogive, polymer tip and InterLock construction for hunting. The .277″ bullet weighs 140 grains and has a .495 G1 ballistic coefficient with a .261 sectional density. As a result, it offers a useful balance of aerodynamic efficiency, bullet weight and controlled expansion.

Why Choose Hornady 270 140gr 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, every rifle and load combination responds differently, so careful testing remains important.

270 140gr SST Hunting Performance

The 140 grain weight provides a practical balance of bullet mass and ballistic performance for suitable .277″ hunting applications. Furthermore, the .495 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 .261 sectional density also provides a useful balance of weight and diameter. Therefore, this bullet is a versatile option for hunters who want a 140 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.
