Product Overview
Winchester Ballistic Silvertip drives an 85 grain polymer-tipped bullet to 3,470 feet per second—the fastest factory load available in .25-06 Remington. That velocity produces 2,273 foot-pounds of muzzle energy and creates the flattest trajectory of any ammunition in this caliber. The lightweight, frangible design maximizes energy transfer on impact.
The Ballistic Silvertip bullet features a Lubalox coating that reduces barrel fouling and friction. The silver polymer tip initiates rapid fragmentation upon impact, creating devastating wound channels on thin-skinned game. This construction favors energy transfer over penetration—ideal for varmints and predators but also effective on deer with proper shot placement.
Coyote hunters and varmint shooters gain a significant advantage with this load's flat trajectory. The high velocity extends point-blank range and reduces the need for holdover at typical predator calling distances. Deer hunters can also use this ammunition effectively, though the fragmenting design works best on broadside chest shots where deep penetration isn't critical.
- The 3,470 fps velocity creates the flattest trajectory of any .25-06 factory load
- Lightweight 85 grain bullet minimizes recoil for faster follow-up shots
- Rapid fragmentation delivers devastating terminal performance on varmints and predators
- Lubalox coating reduces barrel fouling during extended shooting sessions
- Fragmenting design limits penetration—not ideal for quartering shots on deer
- Lightweight bullet sheds energy quickly at extended distances
- Rapid expansion may damage excessive meat on close-range deer shots
