DEER 15
Winchester is synonymous with deer hunting, a pastime enjoyed by millions of Americans every year. You can bet wherever deer hunters gather, Winchester ammunition is there and has been for 150 years. Three of the Big Red W’s top deer loads include the proven Super X Power-Point, famed Ballistic Silvertip and the first truly dedicated deer load, Deer Season XP. See page 34 for the full lineup of Winchester deer loads and detailed ballistics information.

Dual Bond ® Built to deliver optimal
penetration on deer-sized game, Dual Bond’s rapidly expanding double-bonded hollow point is excellent on bear and hogs as well.

Ballistic Silvertip ® These are the ballistic champs in Winchester’s line. The sharp polymer tips, sleek nose profiles and boattails combine to minimize drag. Compare the 150-grain .30-06 Ballistic Silvertip with the 150-grain Power-Point, both zeroed at 200 yards. The Ballistic Silvertip drops 21.5 inches and drifts 13 inches at 400 yards. The Power-Point falls 25.5 inches and is deflected 21 inches. We begin to see an appreciable difference due to B.C. At 500 yards, this difference only grows. The Ballistic Silvertip might be your bullet for shooting beyond 200 yards.
Deer Season XP ® Winchester’s first ammunition ever developed specifically for deer hunting, Deer Season XP has quickly become a favorite among serious deer hunters. Featuring Extreme Point bullets, these projectiles combine the best hard-hitting, rapid mushrooming qualities of the old flat-nose bullets with the ballistically efficient, sleek profile of modern, polymer-tip, low-drag bullets like the Ballistic Silvertip (BST). The extra- large polymer tip resists tip deformation during recoil in the magazine to maintain a high B.C. But because the plastic body extends farther down the nose of the bullet than does the
Lead and inner bullet jacket are welded together for better retained weight.
XP3 ® The XP3 is Winchester’s fastest, flattest-shooting slug with a 1,900 fps muzzle velocity and 300-grain polymer-tipped slug.
Lead-free tin core bullet offers weight-forward in-flight stability.
