Browning Silver 6.8 Western 170gr Plated Soft Point Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Browning Silver 6.8 Western 170-grain plated soft point ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance for medium to large game hunting. This precision-loaded cartridge combines the proven soft point bullet design with Browning's quality manufacturing standards to provide reliable expansion and deep penetration across hunting distances.

What Makes This Different

The plated soft point construction features a copper-plated jacket that reduces barrel fouling while maintaining controlled expansion characteristics. Unlike standard cup-and-core bullets, the plating process creates a more uniform jacket thickness that promotes consistent mushrooming. The 170-grain weight provides an optimal balance of velocity and energy retention for the 6.8 Western cartridge, delivering approximately 2,840 fps muzzle velocity from a 24-inch barrel.

Key Features

• 170-grain plated soft point bullet for controlled expansion on game
• Copper-plated jacket reduces barrel fouling and extends barrel life
• Precision-loaded brass cases with consistent powder charges
• Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading applications
• 20 rounds per box packaging for convenient range and field use
• Compatible with all 6.8 Western chambered rifles
• Muzzle energy of approximately 3,050 foot-pounds

Field performance testing shows effective expansion at impact velocities between 1,800-2,800 fps, making this load suitable for deer, elk, and similar-sized game at ranges from 50 to 400 yards. The soft point design initiates expansion quickly upon impact while the plated jacket helps retain bullet weight for deep penetration. Weather-resistant primer sealing ensures reliable ignition in adverse hunting conditions.
