.270 Winchester 129 Grain Barnes LRX (Lead-Free)~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 Bullet-Ā
The Long-Range X Bullet (LRX) line is designed after the best-selling Tipped Triple-Shock X Bullet, the LRX bullet design increases Ballistic Coefficient values by increasing ogive and boat tail lengths to improve the bulletsā long-range ballistic performance. For the hunter who is confident in long-range hunting, the LRX will fill the niche of this new hunting craze. LRX bullets will continue to be manufactured with the proven 100-percent copper, lead-free bodies. The bulletās polymer tip initiates expansion, causing the nose cavity to open instantly on contact doubling the bulletās original diameter while creating four cutting petals that wreak extensive internal damage. Exceptional performance means clean, quick kill.
