Description
The idea behind Winchester’s Extreme Point (XP) projectile is so simple that it works perfectly. This 450 Bushmaster hunting round features a bullet with a colossal polymer tip. It covers nearly half of the XP’s available surface area, about 25 percent more than a conventional polymer tip. When the XP hits a target, its tip’s huge base smashes into its alloyed lead core to create much faster expansion than usual. In effect you have a 250 grain bullet that delivers four digits of impact energy up to 250 yards, and distributes that energy within its target fast as lightning.
rThe XP boasts good accuracy as well. Its big polymer tip provides a highly uniform and aerodynamic meplat, and its jacket profile is streamlined. Winchester seats their XP on their highest quality brass, and gives it a primer and propellant that you can trust in the woods. Try this round out on a buck — or a hog, if one volunteers itself — and see why big polymer tips are the next big thing.
