Description

Built for big game hunting and long-range work, the Federal Power-Shok .270 WSM 130gr jacketed soft point load (Federal part no. 270WSME) sends a 130-grain bullet downrange in .270 WSM. The Power-Shok line from Federal Ammunition uses a traditional lead-core hunting bullet with quality brass, primers and propellant, aimed at solid accuracy at an affordable price. .270 WSM is a short-action magnum from Winchester built for fast, flat-shooting loads. Leaving the muzzle at 3,250 fps with 3,049 ft-lb of energy, this load still carries 2,722 fps and 2,138 ft-lb at 200 yards, per Federal’s published figures. It comes in a 20-round box, which keeps a practice or hunting load simple to carry.
