The Winchester Deer Season XP 30-06 Springfield 180-grain ammunition delivers maximum impact energy and rapid expansion for clean, ethical harvests. This premium hunting cartridge features Winchester's Extreme Point bullet technology, engineered specifically for whitetail deer hunting applications.
What Makes This Different
The Extreme Point bullet design combines a large diameter polymer tip with a tapered jacket and alloyed lead core for devastating terminal performance. Unlike standard soft-point ammunition, the oversized tip initiates expansion at lower velocities while the tapered jacket ensures consistent mushrooming across various impact speeds. This results in nearly twice the expansion diameter of traditional hunting bullets, creating massive wound channels for quick, humane kills.
