Product Overview
Sig Sauer's Elite Hunter loads a 140-grain tipped bullet at 2950 feet per second, generating 2705 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The bullet features a translucent yellow polymer tip over a hollow-point boat-tail design, combining modern aerodynamics with controlled expansion. The 0.508 ballistic coefficient—among the highest available in .270 Winchester hunting ammunition—provides exceptional trajectory flatness and wind resistance at extended range.
The controlled expansion design balances wound channel effectiveness with penetration depth. Rather than opening violently like some polymer-tipped bullets, the Elite Hunter expands to approximately 1.8 times original diameter while retaining structural integrity. This predictable expansion works across a broader velocity range than aggressive designs, maintaining effectiveness whether impacts occur at 100 yards or 400 yards.
Hunters who want premium long-range performance from a relatively new ammunition manufacturer find the Elite Hunter delivers on its design goals. The boat-tail construction maintains velocity efficiently at distance, the polymer tip ensures consistent expansion, and the 140-grain weight provides adequate mass for game from whitetails through elk. Sig Sauer's investment in their ammunition division shows in the consistency and accuracy this load provides.
- Outstanding 0.508 ballistic coefficient ranks among the highest for .270 Winchester hunting ammunition, producing exceptionally flat trajectory and minimal wind drift at extended range.
- Controlled expansion to 1.8x original diameter balances wound channel effectiveness with penetration depth, performing consistently across a wide velocity window.
- The 140-grain weight provides adequate mass for elk-sized game while the boat-tail design maintains the trajectory flatness hunters need for longer shots.
- Premium components and strict quality control deliver consistent accuracy—typically sub-MOA in rifles that shoot well.
- Sig Sauer's ammunition division is relatively new compared to established manufacturers, with less field history demonstrating long-term consistency and performance across varied conditions.
- Retail availability can be challenging outside major retailers—hunters in rural areas may need to order rather than finding stock locally.
- Premium pricing positions this alongside established premium options, though the ballistic performance justifies the cost for hunters prioritizing long-range capability.
