Guys, I have come across 7 boxes of Weatherby ammunition that says 270Win Ultra High Velocity ammunition. Part number is B270W130SX. It is obviously an X bullet but is it standard 270 ammo or is it 270 Weatherby? I was unaware that Weatherby manufactured ammo other than their Weather calibers.

Ok, What do I have. I paid 10.00 per box all are new not reloaded.

If it says 270Win it's almost certainly 270 Winchester. Weatherby calibers are also pretty easily distinguished by their double radius shoulder. The 270 Wby will also have a belt.

Thanks for the info. These are non-belted Shells. I am guessing by double radius shoulder you mean two diferent tapers at the neck. Sorry I am not very technical.

There are only 3 factory .277 rounds out there to buy.

No belt = .270 Win or .270 WSM

Either way, you did good.

Guys, What does "Ultra high velocity ammo" mean. Are they juiced up over a typical 270 round. My guess is yes since Weatherby made them.

Sounds like Weatherby alright.

Roy Weatherby sold his guns and ammo as being able to drop a six-ton T-rex from 500 yards with a .30-caliber bullet. His rounds were truly faster than other stuff out there but we all know what that extra speed does to the throat, don't we?
