Hornady American Whitetail .270 Winchester 130gr SST Ammo, 20-Round Box

Hornady American Whitetail .270 Winchester ammunition (part no. 80542) loads a 130-grain SST bullet, honoring one of the flattest-shooting, most storied deer cartridges in American hunting history. Hornady built the American Whitetail line to bring genuine SST bullet performance to hunters who do not need premium big-game pricing for a deer-camp rifle. The classic 130-grain .270 Winchester weight has dropped deer for generations, and Hornady’s polymer-tip SST modernizes that legacy with faster, more consistent expansion than the cup-and-core bullets it grew up with. Twenty rounds to the box, this is rifle ammunition built for the hunter who trusts a proven cartridge with modern bullet technology.
