Winchester .30-06 Springfield Super-X 165gr Power-Point Ammo Bullet Drop and Load Data
Product Overview
Winchester's Super-X 165gr Power-Point steps away from modern marketing hype to deliver what hunters actually need in the field. At 2800 fps, this round packs enough punch to flatten anything wearing antlers, while that robust 165-grain projectile drives through brush and bone with authority. The Power-Point design might not win any beauty contests against polymer-tipped bullets, but it's been filling freezers since before most of us were born.
Drop into thick oak forests or glass across mountain meadows, and this load shows why simple engineering often works best. The exposed lead tip initiates expansion the instant it connects, while that heavy jacket keeps the bullet driving forward through shoulder bones and tough hide. That combination of immediate shock and deep penetration means you're tracking blood trails measured in yards rather than miles, whether you're chasing muleys in September or whitetails during the December rut.
Here's what matters most - this ammunition lets you focus on hunting instead of your bank account. While premium loads might cost more than your scope, these Super-X rounds deliver real-world performance without requiring a second mortgage. The consistent point of impact means you can practice enough to build genuine confidence, then hunt with the same load that printed those tight groups at the range. And when that trophy buck steps out at sunset, you won't be second-guessing your equipment - you'll be planning where to hang the meat.
Pros and Cons
Advantages
- Power-Point design slices through light brush with minimal deflection, especially valuable in woodland hunting scenarios
- Steady recoil impulse lets hunters track game movement during follow-up shots, particularly beneficial in dense cover
- Progressive expansion profile reduces meat damage on close shots while maintaining sufficient penetration through shoulder bones
- Handles wet hunting conditions reliably thanks to its sealed primer and traditional bullet construction
Disadvantages
- Basic aerodynamics create more wind drift past 300 yards compared to streamlined projectiles
- Traditional soft point may experience irregular expansion in quartering shots where modern bonded cores excel
- Middle-ground velocity requires additional holdover compensation during longer field shots
