Product Overview
Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 150-grain is a polymer-tipped .30-06 Springfield hunting load made for big game and deer. The Ballistic Silvertip puts a polymer tip over a lead core. It leaves the muzzle at 2,900 fps with 2,801 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .435.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 21.2 inches at 400 yards, arriving with 1,476 ft-lbs.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal's 150-grain Fusion starts at the same 2,900 fps with a bonded core and a G1 BC of .410 and drops 21.7 inches at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero. Norma's Dedicated Hunting Whitetail 150-grain PSP has bare lead at the nose and a G1 BC of .274 and off that zero it drops 26.9 inches at 400.
- The highest G1 BC of the .30-06 150-grain loads compared
- Carries 1,747 ft-lbs at 300 yards, the most of the loads compared
- The least drop at 400 yards of the loads compared, from either zero
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required. Federal's PowerShok 150-grain Copper HP is the copper bullet at this weight
- Nothing in the recoil figures separates it from Federal's 150-grain Fusion
- 10 fps and 19 ft-lbs behind Federal's PowerShok 150-grain Copper HP at the muzzle
