The Winchester Power-Point 308 Winchester 150-grain ammunition delivers consistent expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. This proven soft-point design has earned its reputation among hunters who demand reliable terminal performance across varying shot distances and conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Power-Point bullet features a strategically placed notched jacket that initiates controlled expansion upon impact while maintaining weight retention for maximum energy transfer. Unlike full metal jacket rounds, the exposed lead tip and tapered jacket design create a mushrooming effect that increases wound channel diameter. Independent ballistics testing shows Power-Point bullets retain 85-90% of their original weight, significantly outperforming standard cup-and-core designs.
Key Features
- 150-grain soft-point bullet optimized for 308 Winchester chamber specifications

Field performance data indicates muzzle velocities of approximately 2,820 fps from 24-inch barrels, generating 2,648 foot-pounds of energy. The 150-grain weight provides an optimal balance between velocity and bullet mass for whitetail deer, mule deer, and similar-sized game at ranges extending to 300 yards. The soft-point construction performs effectively in varying weather conditions, maintaining accuracy standards within 2-3 MOA from quality rifle platforms.
