Frequently Asked Questions
Barnes .270 Ammo for Sale
What grain bullet is best for a 270?
For deer and medium game, 130-grain bullets are the standard choice and perform excellently. For elk or larger animals, 150-grain provides more energy. The 140-grain is a versatile middle option. Match bullet construction to your game—bonded or controlled-expansion bullets for larger, tougher animals.
What's the best 270 ammo?
Best .270 ammo depends on your hunting goal. Remington Core-Lokt, Hornady ELD-X (145gr Precision Hunter), and Federal Terminal Ascent (136gr) all perform well. Bullet weights vary by load — match your choice to game size and consult manufacturer recommendations. Expect to pay $40–$56 per box.
Is Barnes ammo good quality?
Barnes ammunition is well-regarded for accuracy and consistency. Shooters report sub-MOA groups and reliable velocity. The monolithic bullet design expands reliably for hunting. Factory loads use match-grade specifications with individually measured charges. Expect to pay around $50 per box, typically ranging from $40–$56.
How much do 270 shells cost?
.270 Winchester ammo typically costs $39.99–$55.95 per box, averaging around $49.99. Price varies by bullet weight (130, 140, or 150 grain), brand, and load type. Premium hunting loads cost more than standard options. All variants are currently in stock.
How much does .270 drop at 200 yards?
Bullet drop at 200 yards depends on your zero distance and load. If zeroed at 100 yards with standard 130-grain rounds, expect roughly 3 inches of drop. Zeroing at 200 yards keeps you near point-of-aim out to 240 yards. Consult your ammunition's ballistic tables for exact figures.
Is Barnes LRX all copper?
Yes, Barnes LRX bullets are solid copper. They share the same all-copper construction as the TSX and TTSX lines, which means high weight retention upon expansion and deep penetration on game.
