Federal Premium Meat Eater Ammunition 270 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) 130 Grain Trophy Copper Tipped Boat Tail Lead-Free 20RD

Federal Premium MeatEater 270 WSM ammunition delivers reliable, lead-free performance for hunters who demand accuracy and terminal performance on medium and big game. This 270 Winchester Short Magnum round pairs a 130-grain Trophy Copper Tipped boat-tail bullet with Federal's commitment to non-toxic ammunition, making it a solid choice for hunters in lead-free zones or those simply preferring copper-based projectiles.

The Trophy Copper bullet is engineered for controlled expansion across a range of velocities, with a polymer-tipped cavity optimized to open reliably while retaining up to 99 percent of its weight for deep penetration. That weight retention matters when you're hunting at varying ranges or when your shot placement demands a bullet that stays together through heavy bone and muscle. The grooved shank improves accuracy consistency across different firearms, and the boat-tail design boosts the ballistic coefficient—meaning less wind drift and drop at distance, plus better velocity retention downrange.

Each box contains 20 rounds, giving you enough ammunition for practice, sighting in, and hunting season without breaking rhythm. If you're running a 270 WSM and want a non-toxic round that won't compromise on accuracy or stopping power, Federal's MeatEater line is built for that purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ammunition suitable for hunting medium and big game?

Yes. The 270 WSM with a 130-grain Trophy Copper bullet is designed for medium and big game hunting. The lead-free copper construction and weight retention support reliable terminal performance across a range of game animals.

Will this ammo work in any 270 WSM rifle?

This ammunition is loaded for the 270 WSM cartridge. It will chamber and fire in any rifle chambered in 270 WSM. The grooved bullet shank is designed to improve accuracy across different firearms, though individual rifle-to-ammo compatibility is always worth testing at the range.

Why choose lead-free ammunition?

Lead-free ammunition meets regulations in many hunting areas and is increasingly preferred by hunters concerned with environmental impact. Federal's Trophy Copper line delivers the performance and accuracy of traditional ammunition without lead.

What's the ballistic advantage of the boat-tail design?

The boat-tail profile increases the ballistic coefficient, which helps the bullet maintain velocity and energy downrange. This translates to flatter trajectory, less wind drift, and more consistent performance at extended ranges.
