wildcatgoal's Review of Hornady American Whitetail .270 Winchester 130 Grain Soft Point Centerfire Rifle Ammunition
This is a traditional soft point bullet in a brass case. They shoot .75 MOA at least out of my Tikka Ultralite, which is more than enough for hunting deer. I was able to take a large-ish doe recently using one of these. She was about 150 yards away across a hollow. Because the Tikka is so light, it's tough to stay on target through the scope but the bullet landed more-or-less where I aimed (and I sight the rifle in 2" high at 100 yards) for more of a high shoulder shot. She jumped and ran with mostly her front legs working maybe 20 yards and toppled over and did the usual passing kicks. The autopsy indicates the bullet was highly effective in the boiler room without any meat damage I cared about and it looks like there was hydro-static shock to the spine, which may explain why her back side effectively buckled after being hit. My Tikka isn't particularly sensitive to any ammo I've put through it but only notably more expensive Nosler ammo seems to be reliably more accurate out of it.
