For deer-size game at extended ranges, the Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 270 Winchester load answers the call with a 130 grain polymer tip bullet that balances velocity, accuracy, and terminal performance. This 270 Winchester ammo pushes that 130 grain projectile to 3060 feet per second at the muzzle, generating 2702 foot-pounds of energy — enough to anchor whitetail, mule deer, and similar-sized game out past 300 yards when paired with proper shot placement.
Built for the Box
Winchester engineers the Ballistic Silvertip bullet with a solid base boat tail design and a Lubalox coating that reduces barrel friction and extends copper fouling intervals. The polymer tip initiates expansion on impact while the boat tail profile maintains a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.433, reducing wind drift and drop compared to flat-base hunting bullets. Each round is assembled in nickel-plated brass cases with non-corrosive Boxer primers, making spent brass ideal for handloaders who measure charges to the tenth of a grain.

This load fits bolt-action rifles and lever-action platforms chambered in 270 Winchester, from Remington 700s and Winchester Model 70s to Browning BLRs and Savage 110s. Zero at 200 yards and you’ll hold center-mass on deer vitals out to 275 yards with minimal holdover. For more 270 ammo options across grain weights and bullet profiles, browse our full inventory.
Who It’s For
Deer hunters who take shots across open bean fields, western pronghorn hunters glassing ridges, and anyone stretching the 270 Winchester past 250 yards will appreciate the Ballistic Silvertip’s trajectory and controlled expansion. The polymer tip resists deformation in the magazine during recoil, ensuring the bullet feeds reliably and maintains its advertised BC shot after shot.
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 rules of firearm safety at all times: treat every firearm as loaded, never point at anything you’re not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, and be certain of your target and what lies beyond it.
- Verify state and local ammunition regulations before ordering. Some jurisdictions impose magazine capacity limits, bullet type restrictions, or require additional permits.
- This ammunition contains lead. Wash hands after handling and avoid breathing dust from impact points or when reloading brass.
