Hornady Outfitter 270 WSM Rifle Ammunition CX 130 Grain 20 Rounds SKU 805574 UPC 090255719802
Product Description
Hornady® Outfitter® .270 Winchester Short Magnum 130 Grain CX™ (SKU: 805574 / UPC: 090255719802) is purpose-built to withstand the punishing moisture, freezing rain, and extreme environmental demands of rugged backcountry hunting. Designed around the compact, efficient powder column of the .270 WSM cartridge, this 20-round box provides big-game hunters with waterproof, lead-free terminal devastation on elk, mule deer, whitetail, and sheep across vast open canyons and dense timber alike.
At the tip of every round is Hornady's state-of-the-art 130-grain CX™ (Copper alloy eXpanding) monolithic bullet. Integrated with the heat-resistant Heat Shield® tip, the CX bullet maintains high aerodynamic integrity downrange, yielding a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.403. Leaving the muzzle at an authoritative 3,150 fps and delivering 2,864 ft-lbs of kinetic energy, the monolithic projectile initiates immediate controlled expansion upon impact, peeling back into devastating pedals while consistently retaining 95% or more of its original weight to bore deep through tough bone and muscle tissue without shedding lead into game meat.
Engineered for maximum reliability when failure is not an option, Outfitter ammunition utilizes mirror-slick nickel-plated brass cases that resist oxidation and feed effortlessly through bolt-action magazines. Hornady applies specialized watertight sealants around both the case mouth and primer perimeter, locking out moisture and ensuring positive ignition even after prolonged exposure to inclement weather. Packed with clean-burning propellants engineered to minimize extreme velocity spreads across severe temperature swings, this reloadable ammunition sets the benchmark for all-weather hunting confidence.
*Master Ballistician Bench Notes & Range Staging Guidance:*
Chamber Compatibility & Pressure Advisory: This ammunition is loaded strictly for rifles chambered in .270 Winchester Short Magnum (.270 WSM) adhering to SAAMI maximum pressure specifications of 65,000 psi. Recommended for barrel twist rates of 1:10" or faster to achieve full gyroscopic stability with longer monolithic projectiles. CRITICAL: Under no circumstances should .270 WSM ammunition be chambered or discharged in firearms designated for .270 Winchester, .270 Weatherby Magnum, 7mm WSM, or .300 WSM. Mismatched chamberings create severe overpressure conditions leading to catastrophic rifle failure and catastrophic bodily harm.
- Verify the rifle barrel and action roll-marks explicitly indicate ".270 WSM" or ".270 Winchester Short Magnum" before loading rounds into the magazine or chamber.
- Examine each cartridge prior to staging, ensuring primers sit flush or slightly recessed in the primer pocket and verifying overall cartridge length (COAL) is uniform.
- When cycling short magnum cartridges, ensure firm, deliberate bolt manipulation forward to guide the sharp 35-degree shoulder and wide case body smoothly into the chamber without binding.
- Monolithic copper-alloy projectiles experience different bore friction and harmonics than lead-core projectiles; re-zero your hunting optic on paper at 100 or 200 yards to determine exact point-of-impact (POI) before entering the backcountry.
- Store unspent cartridges in a cool, dry, temperature-regulated space inside a sealed, gasketed ammunition container with desiccant, and transport strictly according to DOT Ground hazardous materials regulations.
