Description
If you're serious about taking down deer or antelope at distance, this is ammunition built for that job. Federal loaded these cartridges with Barnes' proven Triple-Shock X bullets, which are made entirely from copper and engineered for hunters who refuse to compromise on performance.
What Makes the P270L Stand Out
The all-copper construction means these rounds carry virtually 100 percent weight retention on impact. When the bullet expands, it creates four razor-sharp cutting petals that drastically increase the wound channel. You get deep penetration and consistent, devastating expansion every single time. The grooved bullet shank does double duty: it minimizes barrel fouling so your rifle stays cleaner and runs more accurately downrange.
Field-Ready Ammunition
Federal backed these loads with the same quality control you'd expect from their premium line. The nickel-plated brass resists corrosion, especially if you're hunting in wet conditions. Enhanced primers ensure reliable ignition, and the clean-burning powder delivers consistent velocity shot after shot. You're looking at 3,060 feet per second and 2,703 foot-pounds of energy out of a standard 270 Winchester rifle, which is plenty of power for medium game at extended ranges.
Built for Accuracy and Reloading
The boat-tail spitzer design helps these rounds group tightly at long range, where most ethical hunting happens. The nickel-plated brass cases are boxer-primed and fully reloadable, so if you're into hand-loading, you'll appreciate having quality brass in your brass bucket after the hunt is over.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Federal Premium P270L work for long-range deer hunting?
Absolutely. The 130-grain Barnes TSX at 3,060 fps delivers solid ballistics with a boat-tail design that helps it retain velocity downrange. The all-copper construction ensures consistent expansion and deep penetration on medium game like deer and antelope out to extended hunting distances. Many hunters find this load performs well beyond 200 yards.
Is the P270L ammunition lead-free?
Yes, these rounds use all-copper Barnes Triple-Shock X bullets, so they contain no lead. This makes them suitable for hunting in areas that require or prefer lead-free ammunition. The all-copper design doesn't sacrifice performance in any way, and many hunters actually prefer it for terminal performance and reduced barrel fouling.
Can I reload the brass from Federal Premium P270L cartridges?
Yes. The cases are nickel-plated brass with boxer primers, making them fully reloadable. The nickel plating also adds durability and corrosion resistance, which is a bonus whether you're reloading or storing them long-term in the field.
What game is this ammunition best suited for?
The P270L is specifically designed for medium game hunting, particularly deer and antelope-sized animals. The 130-grain weight is right in the sweet spot for the 270 Winchester to deliver the penetration and expansion needed on these game animals. Some hunters also use it on lighter elk in certain situations, but Federal classifies it as medium game ammunition.
