Hornady 270 150gr SST Bullets

Hornady 270 150gr SST Bullets combine a secant ogive, polymer tip and InterLock construction for hunting. The .277″ bullet weighs 150 grains and has a .525 G1 ballistic coefficient with a .279 sectional density. As a result, it offers a strong balance of aerodynamic efficiency, bullet weight and controlled expansion.

Why Choose Hornady 270 150gr 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 produce a flatter trajectory and reduce the effect of wind 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 produces the best accuracy. However, individual rifles and loads can respond differently, so testing remains important.

270 150gr SST Hunting Performance

The 150 grain weight provides a useful balance of bullet mass and ballistic performance for suitable .277″ hunting applications. Furthermore, the .525 G1 BC helps the bullet maintain velocity as distance increases.

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

The .279 sectional density also provides a useful balance of weight and diameter. Therefore, this bullet is a strong option for hunters looking for a heavier .277″ projectile with a streamlined 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.
