Description
Browning Silver Series 270 Win 150gr is Browning Silver Series ammunition in the classic 270 Winchester. It uses a heavy-for-caliber 150 grain plated soft point bullet at 2,850 fps, and it comes in a 20 round box. It is a straightforward, traditional hunting load.
Who Makes Browning Silver Series 270 Win 150gr
Browning ammunition is produced under licence by Winchester, part of Olin, in the United States. The Silver Series is Browning traditional hunting line, built around the soft point bullet that has taken more North American game than any other design.
Browning describes the Silver Series as a modern version of the classic soft-point bullet. The jackets are precision plated, and the line uses heavy projectiles for each caliber to deliver hard-hitting energy on deer, black bear and similar game.
In the 270 Winchester, 150 grains is at the heavy end of common bullet weights. Many 270 hunters use 130 grain bullets for deer and step up to 150 grains for larger animals such as elk, or simply for better penetration and less meat damage at close range.
The 270 Winchester itself was introduced in 1925 and became one of the most popular deer cartridges in America, helped by the writing of Jack O Connor. It shoots flat, recoils moderately and is chambered in almost every bolt action rifle line, so ammunition like Browning Silver Series 270 Win 150gr fits a huge number of rifles already in hunting camps.
Specifications and Performance
Published figures for Browning Silver Series 270 Win 150gr are 2,850 fps and 2,705 ft-lbs at the muzzle. Retail listings give a G1 ballistic coefficient of about 0.344, which is typical for a round nosed or semi-pointed soft point of this weight.
That BC means the bullet sheds velocity faster than a polymer tipped boat tail. For most deer hunting within 300 yards it is not a concern, and a soft point bullet tends to expand reliably across normal hunting ranges. Zero at 200 yards and confirm your holds at 300 yards before you hunt.
The brass cases are boxer primed and reloadable, so handloaders can save their empties after the season. Browning packs the ammunition 20 rounds to a box and 10 boxes to a case.

Field Notes
A cup-and-core bullet is a sensible, proven choice for whitetail and mule deer. For tougher animals such as elk, focus on broadside shots through the vitals and keep the distance reasonable, since a cup-and-core bullet can lose weight on heavy bone.
This load has a lead core, so it cannot be used where non-lead ammunition is required for hunting, including California. Check your local rules before you hunt.
For hunters who also want to take hogs or black bear, the heavier 150 grain bullet offers a little more penetration than lighter 270 loads. As always, choose shots you are confident in and let the bullet do its job.
Shoot a few groups with Browning Silver Series 270 Win 150gr before the season. Different bullet weights can print in different places, especially if you normally use 130 grain ammunition, so confirm your zero before you head out.
Store ammunition cool and dry. Rifle ammunition requires buyers to be at least 18, and some states add extra rules for ammunition purchases.
