The Winchester S65LR Expedition Big Game ammunition delivers exceptional long-range accuracy with the proven Nosler AccuBond Long Range projectile in 6.5 Creedmoor. This premium hunting cartridge extends effective range while maintaining reliable expansion on big game targets at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
The Nosler AccuBond Long Range bullet features a polymer tip and boat-tail design optimized for superior ballistic coefficients compared to standard hunting bullets. The bonded core construction prevents jacket separation even at high velocities, while the tapered jacket design ensures controlled expansion at both close and extended ranges. Winchester's precision loading process maintains consistent velocities within 15 fps standard deviation.
Key Features
- 142-grain Nosler AccuBond Long Range bullet with high ballistic coefficient
- Bonded core construction prevents jacket-core separation
- Polymer tip initiates expansion at lower impact velocities
- Boat-tail design reduces drag for flatter trajectory
- Premium brass cases suitable for reloading
- Consistent powder charges for uniform velocity
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
Field performance data shows this cartridge maintains over 1,800 fps impact velocity at 400 yards, ensuring reliable expansion on deer-sized game. The high ballistic coefficient reduces wind drift by approximately 30% compared to standard 140-grain hunting bullets. Temperature-stable powder maintains consistent performance from -20°F to 125°F conditions.
