Federal Premium Ammunition 270 Winchester 145 Grain Hornady ELD-X Polymer Tip 20RD

Federal Premium 270 Winchester 145 Grain ELD-X ammunition delivers dependable performance across the hunting scenarios that matter most. Loaded with Hornady's proven ELD-X bullet, this round combines a polymer tip that resists deformation with a robust copper jacket and optimized boat-tail design—the foundation of consistent downrange stability and consistent expansion from closer shots to extended-range opportunities. The 145-grain bullet weight pushes the ballistic coefficient high, meaning better energy retention and flatter trajectories where game appears unpredictably.

Built on non-corrosive, reloadable nickel-plated brass with a boxer primer, each box delivers 20 rounds ready for the field or range. The polymer tip doesn't flatten or deform in the magazine or in flight, which means the bullet maintains its intended ballistic profile and triggers expansion reliably across a wide velocity window—a critical advantage when hunt distances vary or shots aren't always at book-distance ranges. The concentric copper jacket and heavy shank work together to support that expansion and maximize terminal performance without fragmentation.

This is the ammunition for hunters who want to streamline preparation. Load it, trust it, and focus on the hunt itself rather than second-guessing ballistics or bullet performance. Federal's specially formulated propellant and quality-control process mean each round fires with predictable velocity and point-of-impact consistency, so your zero holds and your first-round confidence stays high.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ballistic coefficient of the 145-grain ELD-X in 270 Winchester?

The ELD-X bullet is designed with an extremely high ballistic coefficient, which means it retains velocity and energy better at distance. This supports flatter trajectories and consistent downrange performance, but for the exact BC value, consult Hornady's published specs for the ELD-X projectile.

Can I reload the brass from this ammunition?

Yes. Federal Premium ammunition is loaded in reloadable, non-corrosive boxer-primed brass cases with nickel plating. After firing, the cases can be cleaned, resized, and reloaded according to published reloading data for the 270 Winchester cartridge.

Is this ammunition suitable for long-range hunting?

The 145-grain ELD-X is engineered for extended-range hunting. The high ballistic coefficient, polymer tip design, and robust construction support reliable expansion across a wide velocity range, making it capable of longer-distance applications where conventional ammunition might struggle with consistent terminal performance.

What's included in each box?

Each box contains 20 rounds of Federal Premium 270 Winchester 145 Grain ELD-X ammunition, ready to load and shoot.
