Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 6.8 Western Ammo 170 Grain Polymer Tip

Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 6.8 Western Ammo 170 Grain Polymer Tip uses Winchester’s Ballistic Silvertip bullet, which pairs a polymer tip with a notched jacket for rapid expansion. The tip initiates expansion instantly on impact while the notched jacket controls the rate of mushrooming.

Polymer-Tip Rapid Expansion

Meanwhile, the boat-tail design improves the bullet’s ballistic coefficient over a comparable flat-base soft point. This gives the load a flatter trajectory and better resistance to wind drift at typical hunting ranges. As a result, hunters get quick, dependable expansion paired with improved long-range flight characteristics.
