Frequently asked questions

Does the XRG bullet contain lead?

The bullet itself is solid copper and lead-free. This does not necessarily mean that every cartridge component, including the primer, uses Nontox technology.

Can it be used in every .270-calibre rifle?

No. It is intended only for firearms specifically chambered in .270 Winchester and approved for the corresponding factory ammunition.

Will it have the same impact point as an SP load?

Not necessarily. Bullet weight, construction and external ballistics can change the point of impact, so the rifle should be checked with the selected load.

When is S&B .270 Win XRG the right choice?

Expert recommendation

Confirm the rifle’s actual point of impact with the same ammunition lot intended for hunting. A solid-copper bullet can differ from a lead-core bullet of equal weight in length, barrel harmonics and impact point.
