MAIN Copper Impact

Winchester has launched its Copper Impact rifle and slug ammunition line, now offering more calibers and heavy-hitting bullet weights for big-game hunting.

Copper Impact rifle bullets are engineered with longer ogives and boattails providing higher ballistic coefficients, which improves accuracy at longer distances. With Copper Impact, a hunter gets monolithic solid copper Extreme Point hollow-point bullets with distinctive polymer tips that create both a large-impact diameter and immediate expansion upon contact.

As a solid bullet, the Extreme Point retains more weight than standard jacketed bullets. Copper Impact bullets are permitted for use where lead-free ammunition is required, but regardless of location, this line of ammunition performs on big game from pronghorn to elk.
