Product Overview
Winchester's Super-X 129-grain PP is a jacketed soft point 6.5 Creedmoor load made for deer. The Power-Point bullet is jacketed with the lead exposed at the nose. It leaves the muzzle at 2,820 fps with 2,277 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .324.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 8.7 inches at 300 and 25.8 inches at 400, where it still carries 932 ft-lbs. From a 100-yard zero it drops 33.6 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's American Whitetail 129-grain InterLock matches it on bullet weight and muzzle speed on a higher G1 BC of .445, and from a 200-yard zero it drops 22.5 inches at 400. Hornady's Superformance 129-grain SST is 130 fps faster again on a G1 BC of .485 and drops 19.7 inches at 400 from that zero.
- Still carries 1,184 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- A plain jacketed soft point, one of the simplest hunting bullets in the caliber
- Kicks about 5 percent less than Hornady's Superformance 129-grain SST at the same bullet weight
- The lowest G1 BC in the caliber, so it sheds speed faster than every load it sits against
- Drops 3.9 inches more at 400 yards than Hornady's American Whitetail 129-grain InterLock from a 100-yard zero
- A lead core, so it cannot be used where lead-free ammunition is required
