Sierra built the Sierra Tipped GameKing .270 Caliber 175gr Bullets (Sierra part no. 4475) as a tough, heavy-duty option for serious big-game hunting, at home in a .270 Winchester or any magnum cartridge that can push it. Its long length gives it a high ballistic coefficient for efficient downrange flight, but that same length means it needs a fast-enough barrel twist to stabilize properly.
