How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview

Winchester lists its Ballistic Silvertip 150-grain for big game. The Ballistic Silvertip is a polymer-tipped hunting bullet with a lead core. This load leaves the muzzle at 2,900 fps with 2,801 ft-lbs of energy, the usual pace for a standard-weight .30-06 hunting load.

Compared with Federal's 150-grain Fusion, the Winchester leaves the muzzle at the same 2,900 fps with the same 2,801 ft-lbs, and the two kick the same in the same rifle. The difference is the bullet: Fusion is a bonded soft point with no polymer tip. Compared with Federal's PowerShok 150-grain Copper HP, the Winchester is 10 fps slower at the muzzle, and again the recoil is the same. The PowerShok Copper uses a copper hollow point with no lead core, where the Ballistic Silvertip has a lead core under its tip.

Buy the Ballistic Silvertip if you want a polymer-tipped bullet in a standard 150-grain big-game load. Pick the Fusion 150 if you would rather have a bonded soft point at the same speed and recoil. Pick the PowerShok Copper 150 if you need a bullet with no lead core. Norma's Dedicated Hunting Whitetail 150-grain PSP is a conventional pointed soft point that leaves the muzzle 13 fps slower with the same kick. For practice, Remington's UMC 150-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket range load that starts 10 fps faster.

Strengths
  • Puts a polymer-tipped bullet at the same 2,900 fps muzzle speed as Federal's 150-grain Fusion
  • Starts with 25 ft-lbs more energy at the muzzle than Norma's Dedicated Hunting Whitetail 150-grain PSP
  • Has a polymer tip, where Norma's Dedicated Hunting Whitetail 150-grain PSP has an exposed soft point
Limitations
  • Carries a lead core; Federal's PowerShok 150-grain Copper HP is the choice for a bullet with none
  • No bonded core, where Federal's 150-grain Fusion bonds its jacket to the core at the same muzzle speed
  • Starts with 19 ft-lbs less energy at the muzzle than Federal's PowerShok 150-grain Copper HP
