The Winchester X223R2 Power-Point delivers consistent terminal performance for varmint hunting and target shooting applications. This 223 Remington load features a 64-grain soft point bullet engineered for controlled expansion and reliable accuracy across multiple rifle platforms.
What Makes This Different
Winchester's Power-Point technology incorporates a notched jacket design that promotes uniform expansion while maintaining weight retention. The 64-grain bullet weight provides an optimal balance between velocity and energy transfer, outperforming lighter varmint loads in wind resistance. Factory-loaded cartridges ensure consistent powder charges and seating depth for repeatable performance shot after shot.
