Winchester 6.8 Western Ammo 170 Grain Polymer Tip – 500 Rounds
Winchester 6.8 Western ammo with a 170-grain Ballistic Silvertip polymer-tip bullet is built for hunters who want a flat-shooting load for deer-size game and longer-range hunting conditions. This 500-round package contains new-production, non-corrosive ammunition in boxer-primed, reloadable nickel-plated brass cases.
The Ballistic Silvertip bullet pairs a solid-base boat-tail profile with a Lubalox-coated jacket. Its aerodynamic design helps reduce drag and crosswind drift, while the polymer tip promotes expansion on impact. Winchester designed this 170-grain 6.8 Western polymer tip load for controlled expansion and penetration on deer-size game.
This Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 6.8 Western load produces a listed muzzle velocity of 2,920 fps and muzzle energy of 3,218 ft-lb. The bullet’s 0.563 G1 ballistic coefficient supports retained velocity and trajectory consistency at longer distances, although actual results will vary with rifle, barrel length, weather, elevation, and shooting conditions.
