6.5MM CREEDMOOR WINCHESTER DEER SEASON 125 GRAIN BALLISTIC TIP XP (200 ROUNDS)

About This Winchester 6.5MM CREEDMOOR Ammunition

When Hornady introduced the 6.5mm Creedmoor in 2007, many other manufacturers stepped up to the plate to take advantage of the new caliber's long-range capabilities in hunting and precision competition. One such organization was Winchester, a timeless American powerhouse with over 150 years of manufacturing experience. Their hard work was poured into these Deer Season XP cartridges which feature the Extreme Point (XP) projectile crimped into a reloadable brass casing that also houses a non-corrosive Boxer primer and a measured load of purpose-made powder. This XP round weighs in at 125 grains, a perfect fit between Hornady's original tolerances, and consists of a copper-jacketed lead bullet with an enlarged ballistic cone up top.

The large-diameter windshield is intended to create a massive entry wound as the bullet enters a target so that rapid bleeding keeps big bucks from running away. As the bullet travels in a target, its controlled expansion will cause slight tumbling and direct energy towards vital areas like the heart and lungs, stopping a game animal with impressive energy and humane efficiency. The ribbed cannelure which helps control this expansion also keeps the 6.5mm Creedmoor projectile firmly clamped in place, preventing setback-related malfunctions and ensuring repeatable accuracy with every shot.
