The Winchester Deer Season XP 7mm-08 Remington delivers devastating terminal performance with its 140-grain Extreme Point bullet designed specifically for whitetail hunting. This premium hunting ammunition combines Winchester's proven accuracy with an innovative polymer tip that drives massive expansion and deep penetration on medium game.
What Makes This Different
The Extreme Point bullet features a large polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion while maintaining structural integrity for maximum energy transfer. Unlike standard soft point bullets that can deform or fail to expand consistently, the Extreme Point design delivers reliable mushrooming across a wide velocity range. Independent ballistic testing shows up to 1.8x diameter expansion with 95% weight retention, significantly outperforming conventional hunting bullets in the 7mm-08 caliber class.
Key Features
- 140-grain Extreme Point bullet with oversized polymer tip for reliable expansion
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and cycle smoothly in semi-automatic rifles
- Optimized powder charge delivers 2,770 fps muzzle velocity from 22-inch barrel
- Contoured boat-tail base improves ballistic coefficient and downrange accuracy
- Lead core bonded to jacket prevents separation during expansion
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for consistent performance
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
Field performance data indicates sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality bolt-action rifles, with effective range extending beyond 300 yards on deer-sized game. The 7mm-08 Remington cartridge generates sufficient energy for ethical harvests on whitetail, mule deer, and similar medium game while producing manageable recoil for extended shooting sessions. Weather-sealed primer and powder charge maintain reliability in temperature extremes from -20°F to 125°F.
