Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 6.8 Western 170gr Polymer Tip Ammo

The Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 6.8 Western 170-grain ammunition delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. This premium hunting cartridge combines Winchester's proven polymer tip technology with the flat-shooting 6.8 Western platform for extended range performance.

What Makes This Different

The Ballistic Silvertip design features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact while the boat-tail base maintains ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectory. Unlike standard soft-point bullets, the polymer tip prevents deformation in the magazine and creates a more aerodynamic profile. The controlled expansion technology ensures consistent mushrooming across various impact velocities, making it effective from 100 to 400+ yards.

Key Features

• 170-grain polymer tip bullet optimized for 6.8 Western cartridge performance
• Rapid controlled expansion technology for reliable terminal performance
• Boat-tail design reduces drag and improves long-range accuracy
• Premium brass cases with boxer primers for consistent ignition
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Ballistic coefficient optimized for flat trajectory and wind resistance
• Quality control tested for consistent velocity and accuracy

Field performance demonstrates excellent accuracy potential with sub-MOA groups achievable in quality rifles. The 6.8 Western cartridge delivers approximately 2,840 fps muzzle velocity with this 170-grain load, providing sufficient energy for elk, deer, and similar-sized game at extended ranges. The polymer tip construction maintains bullet integrity during feeding and chambering while ensuring reliable expansion on game animals.
