Description
.270 Winchester 130 grain Berger VLD-Hunting~Ā TheĀ .270 WinchesterĀ (or 6.8Ć64mm) was developed byĀ Winchester Repeating Arms CompanyĀ in 1923 and unveiled in 1925 as a chambering for theirĀ bolt-actionĀ Model 54.Ā The cartridge is aĀ necked downĀ .30-03, which is the same length as theĀ .280 Remington, both of which are longer than theĀ .30-06 Springfield.Ā The .270 Winchester became a very popular cartridge due to the widespread praises of gunwriters like Townsend Whelen andĀ Jack OāConnorĀ who used the cartridge for 40 years and touted its merits in the pages ofĀ Outdoor Life.Ā The cartridge demonstrated high performance at the time of its introduction and was marketed as being suitable for big game shooting in the 270 to 460 metres (300 to 500Ā yd) range. Two additional bullet weights were soon introduced: a 6.5 grams (100Ā gr) hollow-point bullet forĀ varmintĀ shooting, and a 9.7 grams (150Ā gr) bullet for largerĀ deer,Ā elk, andĀ mooseĀ in big-game hunting.

The Berger VLDĀ Hunting bullet line features Very Low Drag (VLD) bullets that have the highest possible ballistic coefficient designed for 300 yards or more, the design incorporates a sharp nose that allows the bullet to penetrate 2ā³ to 3ā³ before it starts to expand. After the initial expansion, the bullet will shed between 40% and 85% of its weight as shrapnel into the surrounding tissue (internal organs). The combination between the shrapnel and the hydrostatic shock produces a massive wound cavity within the vital area that will be 13ā³ ā 15ā³ long. This massive wound cavity results in the animal dropping fast since most go into shock after such a tremendous blow. Those animals that donāt go down immediately will soon succumb to blood pressure loss and/or organ failure producing a quick ethical kill.
