The Nosler Trophy Grade 270 Winchester 150 grain load chambers a bonded-core AccuBond Long Range projectile engineered for hunters who need controlled expansion at extended yardage and reliable weight retention through heavy bone. This is a factory hunting round — not match ammunition — built on production tooling with hand-inspection at packaging. You get consistent ignition, uniform seating depth, and a polymer tip that initiates expansion on impact while protecting the nose during magazine cycling and recoil.
Built for the Box
Each case starts as Nosler Custom brass, drawn to tight tolerances and annealed for consistent neck tension. The 150-grain AccuBond Long Range bullet uses a proprietary bonding process that eliminates voids between the lead-alloy core and copper-alloy jacket. The result: a projectile that sheds minimal weight as it penetrates, typically retaining 60-70% of original mass after passing through bone, muscle, and hide. At 2850 fps muzzle velocity and 2705 ft-lbs energy, this load delivers flat trajectory out to 400 yards and sufficient retained energy for ethical medium-game harvests beyond that range. The white polymer tip reduces drag (BC 0.625) and initiates expansion upon contact. Boxer primer seats in reloadable brass. Non-corrosive. Not lead-free — handle accordingly.

This load sits in the middle of the 270 Winchester weight range — heavy enough for penetration on elk-sized game, light enough to maintain velocity past 500 yards. Compare this round to other options in the 270 ammo category when matching bullet weight and BC to your rifle’s twist rate and intended game.
Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Follow the four universal rules of firearm safety at all times — treat every firearm as loaded, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, never point the muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy, and be certain of your target and what lies beyond it.
- Verify that your state and local jurisdiction permit possession and use of bonded hunting ammunition; some municipalities restrict lead-core projectiles near waterways or in specific game management units.
- This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm — wash hands after handling ammunition and components.
