eer hunting is still king over any type of hunting in the U.S. Deer Season XP was Winchester’s first ammunition offering made specifically for that purpose. In 2017, it will be joined by one of the most popular modern sporting rifle (MSR) chamberings, the .223 Rem., and a more-recently developed caliber that is growing in popularity for its flat-shooting capability, the 6.5 Creedmoor. With more hunters owning and shooting MSR rifles chambered in .223 Rem., the new Deer Season XP offers a 64-grain bullet specifically designed for deer hunting (where legal for use in deer hunting). The 6.5 Creedmoor has been growing in popularity, not just at the range, but in the hunting woods as well. The introduction of a 125-grain 6.5 Creedmoor offering solidifies the round as an ultra- effective deer load. The loads come 20 rounds to a box. D
