All-Copper Penetration and Expansion
The Barnes Triple-Shock X is an all-copper hollow point. With no lead core to separate from a jacket, Federal says it retains nearly 100 percent of its weight on impact, which drives deep penetration on big game.
A deep hollow-point tip opens into large, consistent petals, giving you a wide wound channel along with that penetration.
Grooves on the bullet shank reduce pressure and barrel fouling and help accuracy. Because it is lead-free, the TSX is also a good fit where regulations limit lead ammunition.

Hunting Tips
Use Federal 270 Win 130gr TSX Lead Free ammo only in rifles chambered for 270 Winchester.
Zero your rifle with this exact load, then confirm your holds at the longest distance you expect to shoot.
Aim for the heart and lung area on a broadside or slightly quartering animal for quick, ethical results.
Practice from field positions such as sitting, kneeling and shooting off sticks before the season.
Federal 270 Win 130gr TSX Lead Free ammo is a lead-free choice for hunters after deer, elk and other big game.
The 270 Winchester has been a favorite of deer and elk hunters for generations thanks to its flat trajectory. A 130 grain all-copper TSX lets Federal 270 Win 130gr TSX Lead Free ammo keep that speed while delivering deep penetration, and it works where lead-free ammunition is required.
Before the season, shoot a few groups with Federal 270 Win 130gr TSX Lead Free ammo from a solid rest, then practice from the positions you will actually hunt from. A rifle that groups well off the bench is only part of the picture; being able to hold steady from sitting, kneeling or off shooting sticks is what fills tags.
After the shot, give the animal time before you follow up, and mark where it was standing. A soft point bullet that does its job usually leaves a good blood trail, but patience makes recovery much easier.
Clean your rifle after the hunt and store it with a light coat of oil, especially if it was out in rain or snow.
Premium hunting ammunition costs more than practice loads, so many hunters zero with a box of the same load they will hunt with and then confirm their dope before each season. Buying several boxes of Federal 270 Win 130gr TSX Lead Free from one lot keeps your point of impact consistent from year to year.
Wind and range estimation matter as much as the bullet. Use a rangefinder, learn how your load drifts in a crosswind, and practice at the distances you expect to shoot. Store ammunition in a cool, dry place in its original box so it performs the same on opening day as it did at the range.
