Product Overview
Winchester's 130-grain Power-Point leaves the muzzle at 3060 feet per second with 2702 foot-pounds of energy. This velocity places it among the faster .270 Winchester loads, producing flat trajectory that simplifies holdovers at typical hunting distances. The Power-Point bullet features Winchester's notched jacket design that initiates controlled expansion on impact while the exposed lead tip ensures reliable upset even at extended range where velocity drops.
The 0.37 ballistic coefficient—solid for a conventional soft point—helps the bullet maintain velocity at distance better than round-nose or flat-base designs. Combined with the 3060 fps muzzle velocity, this translates to practical point-blank ranges approaching 275 yards when zeroed appropriately. Deer hunters working open country, power line cuts, or agricultural land where shots may present across fields appreciate this trajectory advantage.
This load represents the practical choice for most deer hunters. The combination of proven terminal performance, accessible pricing, and wide availability makes it a natural default for .270 shooters who want reliable ammunition without premium costs. The Power-Point has anchored whitetails and mule deer for generations, and Winchester's quality control ensures consistent accuracy that hunters can trust from season to season.
- Velocity of 3060 fps produces flat trajectory that simplifies shot placement at distances where many deer are taken—point-blank range extends past 250 yards with appropriate zero.
- The Power-Point's notched jacket has proven reliable across decades of field use, expanding consistently without the velocity sensitivity that affects some modern bullet designs.
- Super-X pricing keeps ammunition accessible for hunters who want to practice with their hunting load rather than switching to different ammunition at the range.
- Available at virtually every retailer that stocks rifle ammunition, eliminating the pre-season scramble for specialty loads.
- Traditional soft-point construction lacks the weight retention of bonded bullets—on close-range impacts or heavy bone, jacket-core separation can occur.
- The flat-base design creates more drag than boat-tail alternatives, resulting in additional drop and wind drift at distances beyond 350 yards.
- Light for elk-sized game—the 130-grain bullet may not penetrate adequately on quartering shots through heavy shoulder muscle and bone.
