Winchester 6.8 Western Ammo 162 Grain Copper Impact – 500 Rounds
6.8 Western ammo from Winchester Copper Impact is built for deer and big-game hunters who want a lead-free hunting load with a solid copper expanding bullet. This 500-round package features 162-grain Copper Extreme Point projectiles, polymer tips, and new-production brass cases with boxer primers.
The Copper Extreme Point is a monolithic solid-copper bullet—not a bonded lead-core design. Its polymer tip initiates expansion, while the oversized projectile nose is designed to create a broad impact profile and support energy transfer on game. This makes Winchester 6.8 Western ammo a relevant option for hunters who prefer or are required to use lead-free 6.8 Western ammo.
This 162-grain load has a listed muzzle velocity of 2,875 fps and muzzle energy of 2,973 ft-lb. With a 0.564 G1 ballistic coefficient, it is designed to retain velocity and resist wind drift at longer hunting distances. Actual performance can vary by rifle, barrel length, ammunition lot, weather, and elevation.
