Product Overview
Winchester's Deer Season XP drives a 117 grain Extreme Point bullet to 3,100 feet per second. The substantial .453 ballistic coefficient helps this round buck wind and maintain energy far better than conventional soft points of similar weight. At the muzzle, hunters get 2,496 foot-pounds—enough authority for deer at distances where other cartridges start to fade.
The Extreme Point bullet features an oversized polymer tip that creates a larger impact diameter upon contact. This design triggers rapid expansion that transfers energy quickly, producing the dramatic terminal performance hunters expect from modern ammunition. The tapered jacket and alloyed lead core work together to balance expansion with penetration across typical deer hunting distances.
Whitetail hunters working food plots, powerline cuts, and field edges will find this load well-suited to their needs. The high BC keeps the bullet supersonic past 500 yards, though most ethical shots happen well inside that range. Clean kills at 300+ yards become routine when shooters understand their rifle's trajectory with this consistently-loaded ammunition.
- The .453 BC exceeds most .25-06 factory loads, providing superior wind resistance and energy retention at distance
- Extreme Point polymer tip creates larger wound channels through oversized impact diameter
- The 3,100 fps velocity with 117 grain bullet balances speed and sectional density effectively
- Purpose-built for deer hunting with expansion tuned for typical whitetail engagement distances
- Rapid expansion design may sacrifice penetration compared to bonded bullets like Federal Fusion
- Premium pricing places this above budget options for hunters watching expenses
- Not ideal for larger game where controlled expansion and deep penetration matter more
