Winchester Ballistic Silvertip Polymer Tipped 150 Grain 30-06 Ammo - 20 Rounds

Some rounds are simply iconic, conjuring up images of hair raising encounters against rancorous animals in the wild, or defending oneself against a foreign enemy in battle. The .30-06 Springfield did both since its introduction in 1906. Developed from the .30-03 US cartridge, but loaded with a more aerodynamic bullet, the ’06 served in US military service until its replacement in 1954 by the 7.62 NATO – though it continued on with many precision shooting teams for a time. As a sporting cartridge it continues to be very popular for its ability to take on medium and large game at further than close range. Winchester’s Ballsitic Silver Tips are that company’s polymer tipped round and have a stated muzzle velocity of 2900 feet per second with 2801 foot pounds of energy. These bullets offer superior accuracy to, and expansion in, the target.

The Winchester name is no less iconic than this caliber, creating visions of the frontier where accuracy was the difference between starvation and food on the spit, it drew the line between returning to camp or having one’s scalp decorating a war spear. While romantic to the point of being extreme, the Winchester name was built on a reputation of dependability and performance. That carries on to today with their Silver Tips delivering every ounce of energy to the target when the first shot needs to be the only shot.
