Product Overview
Winchester's Power Max Bonded sends a 150-grain Protected Hollow Point downrange at 2850 feet per second, generating 2705 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The bonding process fuses the lead core to the copper jacket at a molecular level, preventing the separation that can occur with traditional bullets when they encounter bone or impact at high velocity. This construction maintains bullet integrity through tissue, driving the projectile deeper than conventional designs of equal weight.
The Protected Hollow Point addresses a practical concern with expanding bullets—the hollow cavity can clog with debris before impact, disrupting expansion. Winchester's design covers the cavity during feeding and flight, then folds back on impact to expose the expansion mechanism. This ensures consistent mushrooming whether the bullet passes through brush, clothing, or heavy hide before reaching vital organs.
Elk hunters find particular value in this construction. The combination of 150-grain mass and bonded construction provides the penetration needed for quartering shots through heavy shoulder muscle and bone. Black bear hunters working dense timber, and wild hog hunters facing thick-skinned game, similarly benefit from the deep penetration. The Power Max Bonded transforms the .270 Winchester into a more capable elk cartridge without the expense of premium boutique ammunition.
- Bonded core maintains 90% or better weight retention through impact, driving deeper than conventional soft points when bullets must travel through heavy bone and muscle.
- Protected Hollow Point design prevents debris from clogging the expansion cavity, ensuring reliable mushrooming even when shots pass through brush or heavy hide.
- The 150-grain bullet weight provides momentum for elk-sized game while the bonded construction prevents the fragmentation that challenges conventional bullets on large animals.
- More accessible pricing than premium boutique ammunition while delivering comparable penetration performance on tough game.
- Velocity of 2850 fps creates more trajectory arc than 130-grain loads, requiring hunters to know their holdovers precisely at distances beyond 250 yards.
- Deep penetration can mean exit wounds on deer-sized game—bullets often pass through with retained energy rather than depositing it inside the animal.
- Not as widely stocked as standard Super-X ammunition—hunters should plan ahead rather than expecting to find boxes on the shelf the week before season.
