Weatherby Select Plus 270 Weatherby Magnum Rifle Ammunition Barnes Tipped Triple Shock X TTSX Lead Free 130 Grain 20 Rounds B270130TTSX UPC 747115425075
Product Description
The Weatherby® Select Plus .270 Weatherby Magnum 130 Grain Barnes® Tipped Triple-Shock X (TTSX™) rifle ammunition (SKU: B270130TTSX / UPC: 747115425075) unites Weatherby’s legendary ultra-high-velocity magnum ballistics with Barnes' premier non-lead monolithic terminal technology. Delivered in a 20-round factory box, this cartridge is purpose-engineered for medium-to-large big game—including elk, trophy mule deer, pronghorn antelope, caribou, and nilgai. Whether you are hunting high-altitude mountain terrain, wide-open western plains, or strictly regulated lead-free hunting zones, the Select Plus lineup delivers sub-MOA mechanical consistency, devastating terminal expansion, and match-grade exterior ballistics straight from the box.
The Barnes® 130-grain Tipped TSX™ projectile is precision machined from 100% monolithic copper and capped with a high-lubricity polymer tip that boosts aerodynamic efficiency while accelerating immediate hydraulic expansion. Upon tissue impact, the polymer tip acts as an expansion wedge, driving open the deep nose cavity to deploy four razor-sharp copper cutting petals that expand to twice the bullet's original .277 caliber diameter. Operating without a traditional lead core eliminates jacket-core separation entirely, yielding virtually 100% weight retention, extreme bone-crushing penetration, and massive cavitation. Leaving the muzzle at an astonishing 3,400 feet per second with 3,337 foot-pounds of energy, its 0.392 G1 ballistic coefficient maintains screaming-flat flight trajectories and relentless downrange kinetic transfer.
Every cartridge is loaded into factory virgin belted brass cases incorporating Roy Weatherby’s signature double-radius shoulder design. This proprietary shoulder contour optimizes propellant burn dynamics and case capacity, while precision annular driving bands cut into the bullet shank relieve bore friction and prevent excessive chamber pressure spikes. Primed with sensitive, non-corrosive Large Rifle Magnum Boxer primers and filled with clean-burning propellants, this load cycles cleanly through Weatherby Mark V® and Vanguard® actions, delivering smooth bolt operation, positive extraction, and rugged reloadability for handloaders.
*Master Ballistician Bench Notes & Range Staging Guidance:*
Chamber Compatibility & Pressure Advisory: Strictly engineered for firearms chambered in .270 Weatherby Magnum built to SAAMI and Weatherby throat dimensions. CRITICAL: Never attempt to chamber or fire .270 Weatherby Magnum ammunition in .270 Winchester, .270 WSM, or any 7mm/.300 magnum rifles. The .270 Weatherby Magnum case operates at high working pressures up to 65,000 PSI; firing in unauthorized or non-magnum chambers will cause catastrophic structural rifle destruction. Additionally, Weatherby factory ammunition is specifically calculated for barrels incorporating Weatherby factory freebore; firing these high-energy factory loads in custom short-throated chambers without sufficient throat clearance can cause severe overpressure spikes.
- Verify the rifle receiver and barrel roll-markings read exactly ".270 Weatherby Magnum" prior to staging ammunition into the internal magazine box.
- Inspect each cartridge body during magazine loading for proper primer seating depth, uniform case wall annealing, belted rim integrity, and pristine polymer tip alignment.
- Load cartridges with the rim of each upper round positioned cleanly ahead of the lower round inside the magazine box to prevent rim-interlock and guarantee flawless feeding across the feed ramp.
- Re-verify point-of-impact (POI) and optical zero at 100 or 200 yards specifically for this monolithic 130-grain Barnes TTSX load, as monolithic copper bullets frequently exhibit different harmonics and elevation zeroes compared to traditional lead-core cup-and-core bullets.
- Store unused ammunition in a cool, dry, climate-regulated vault (ideally inside a heavy-gauge steel ammo can with desiccant packs) and comply with all applicable DOT Ground hazardous shipping regulations.
