Super-X Silvertip features a special alloy aluminum nose cap bullet design that promotes high accuracy, protects the soft lead core, and regulates bullet expansion for maximum energy deposit and deep, game-stopping penetration.
The addition of the aluminum nose cap helps to protect the soft lead core of the bullet in the magazine and during the chambering of the round in order to improve downrange accuracy, and provides delayed expansion for deeper penetration.

270 Win, 130grain, Super-X Silvertip, (Per 20)
The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 270 Winchester was introduced in 1925 in the Winchester Model 54 bolt-action, forerunner to the Model 70. Based on the 30-06 case necked down, it was the first production cartridge to use a .277-inch bullet. Why this bullet diameter was chosen is not clear. The intent, however, was to create a cartridge that shot flatter than the 30-06 and produced less recoil. This effort was so successful that the 270 Winchester remains the world's most popular 270 cartridge...and since 1925 only three other commercial cartridges have used this bullet diameter. With a 130-grain bullet at 3060 feet per second and a 150-grain bullet at 2950 the 270 is powerful and flat shooting. It is adequate for game up to elk, ideal for virtually all American deer hunting, and, as it's long-time champion, gunwriter Jack O'Connor, so often wrote, it is a marvelous choice for mountain hunting. It is a standard chambering for almost all rifle makers, and choices in factory loads run into the many dozens.
