Description

The Federal Barnes TSX .270 Winchester 130gr (Federal part no. P270L) is a 20-round box of .270 Winchester rifle ammunition loaded with a 130-grain Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) all-copper hollow point bullet. The monolithic all-copper Barnes TSX bullet has a grooved shank that Federal says minimizes barrel fouling and improves accuracy. The .270 Winchester is a long-standing, flat-shooting North American big-game cartridge. Federal publishes a muzzle velocity of 3,060 fps and 2,703 foot-pounds of muzzle energy for this load. It is aimed at big game hunting, and each box holds 20 rounds.
