Winchester Deer Season XP 6.8 SPC 115 Grain Extreme Point 2625 fps 20 Rounds
Deer Season XP ammunition combines our extensive experience into a product engineered specifically for deer hunters. The Extreme Point bullet features an oversized impact diameter. A bigger impact diameter means more impact trauma, better energy transfer, and larger wound cavities for faster knockdown.
Features : - Accurate: Streamlined profile and large polymer tip combine for ideal ballistic characteristics
- Rapid Expansion: Contoured jacket with tapered profile and alloyed lead core ensure terminal penetration
- Massive Impact: Accelerated bullet expansion creates rapid energy transfer for devastating trauma
The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
Based on the old 30 Remington case, the 6.8mm SPC (6.8mm Remington Special Purpose Cartridge) was developed in conjunction with Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and introduced by Remington in 2003 as a harder-hitting alternative to the 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge. Bullet diameter is .277-inch, same as the 270 Winchester, but the cartridge was developed to fit into the AR platform by switching out upper receivers, so shorter (lighter) bullets must be used. Standard is a 115-grain bullet at 2625 fps. Although the 6.8mm SPC has seen combat use in Southwest Asia with good results its wholesale adoption by the military seems unlikely. It has, however, found favor as a hunting cartridge in the AR platform; its many fans consider it an excellent deer cartridge out to perhaps 200 yards.
