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.

Winchester's latest ammunition line is the Supreme Long Range centerfire rifle ammo, and that line is built around its BC Max projectile. Using a thick, drawn copper jacket, steep boattail at the rear and a relatively oversized polymer tip, the BC Max bullet is built for resisting wind deflection and retaining energy downrange.
