Product Overview
Winchester loads this 300gr jacketed hollow point to 1880 fps for 2355 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Super-X line has been around for decades, and this load is straightforward hunting ammunition for deer, black bear, and wild boar. The hollow point opens on impact for a large wound channel.
At 300 grains, recoil stays reasonable for most shooters. The .283 ballistic coefficient helps the bullet buck wind better than flat-nose designs, making it a decent choice for shots out to 150 yards. Winchester Super-X is widely available and typically priced below premium hunting loads, making it practical for hunters who shoot enough to need affordable practice ammunition.
