Winchester X68WCLF Copper Impact 6.8 Western 162gr Lead Free Ammo

The Winchester X68WCLF Copper Impact delivers exceptional terminal performance in 6.8 Western chambering with lead-free construction that meets hunting restrictions across all jurisdictions. This premium ammunition features Winchester's Copper Extreme Point technology for devastating expansion and deep penetration on medium to large game.

What Makes This Different

The Copper Extreme Point bullet design incorporates a large hollow point cavity with engineered scoring that creates controlled expansion at velocities from 1,600 to 3,200 fps. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the solid copper construction retains 95-99% of its weight while creating massive wound channels. The boat-tail design and precision manufacturing deliver sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles, outperforming standard hunting loads by 30-40% in retained energy downrange.

Key Features

• 162-grain Copper Extreme Point bullet with controlled expansion technology
• Lead-free construction complies with all hunting regulations and environmental restrictions
• 6.8 Western chambering optimized for long-range hunting applications
• Boat-tail design reduces drag for improved ballistic coefficient
• Nickel-plated cases prevent corrosion and ensure smooth feeding
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Muzzle velocity of 2,875 fps with 2,987 ft-lbs of energy

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy in bolt-action rifles with proper bedding and optics. The 6.8 Western cartridge excels at ranges beyond 400 yards where traditional cartridges lose effectiveness, making this load ideal for western hunting, precision rifle competition, and long-range target work. The copper construction maintains structural integrity through barriers while creating reliable expansion in soft tissue.
