Product Overview
Winchester Deer Season XP 95-grain is a polymer-tipped .243 Winchester load made for deer. Its Extreme Point bullet carries an oversized tip over a lead core. It leaves the muzzle at 3,100 fps with 2,027 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .363.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 6.6 inches at 300 and 19.6 inches at 400 with 951 ft-lbs left. From a 100-yard zero it drops 25.3 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal's 95-grain Berger Hybrid Hunter starts 50 fps slower on a G1 BC of .434 and drops 19.0 inches at 400 from a 200-yard zero. Federal's Fusion 95-grain bonds its lead core to the jacket and starts 120 fps slower than the Deer Season XP.
- The fastest of the 95- and 100-grain .243 hunting loads at the muzzle
- Carries 1,163 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- Drops more than two inches less at 400 yards than either 95-grain SST load compared, from a 200-yard zero
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
- The hardest-kicking of the 95-grain .243 loads, about 6 percent more than Fiocchi's Hyperformance 95-grain SST in the same rifle
- Federal's 95-grain Berger Hybrid Hunter arrives at 400 yards with 1,047 ft-lbs against this load's 951
