Description

Hornady’s American Whitetail .270 Winchester 130 grain InterLock® is built for hunters who need reliable terminal performance and accuracy in the field. Designed specifically for North American game, this round uses Hornady’s classic InterLock® soft point bullet, engineered for controlled expansion, deep penetration, and high weight retention — critical for clean, ethical kills on deer and similar-sized animals.

The InterLock® design features a tapered jacket, lead-alloy core, and the signature InterLock ring, which locks the core and jacket together during expansion. The result is a devastating wound channel with excellent retained mass and energy for pass-through performance or deep internal damage.

Hornady loads this round with carefully selected powders, high-quality brass, and reliable primers to ensure consistent ignition and tight groupings — whether you’re at the range or in the woods.
