20rds – 223 Rem Winchester Silvertip 64gr. Defense Tip Ammo

Winchester Ammunition 64 Grain Polymer Tipped Ammo Details

Pretty much anything that comes out of the barrel of an AR-15 is poised to neutralize a threat, pronto. But when everything is at stake, you’ll enjoy real peace of mind if your mag’s loaded with 223 Rem ammo that’s specifically engineered for personal defense applications. That’s Winchester Silvertip in a nutshell!

This cartridge features with Winchester’s Defense Tip projectile. Right away you’ll notice the bullet’s enormous polymer tip, which does promote accuracy by creating a sleek, ballistically efficient frontal surface. But because its base is so wide in diameter, that polymer tip also accelerates terminal expansion and resultant energy transferral to the target. And because the Defense Tip possesses a dense lead core and weighs heavier than average at 64 grains, it excels at retaining the momentum essential to producing a deep wound channel.

The Defense Tip’s jacket isn’t actually made of silver. It’s plated with nickel, a metal which reduces friction to promote smoother feeding and which also enhances this ammo’s corrosion resistance. Winchester’s uniform brass cases ensure even smoother feeding still, and their powder and primers are matched to guarantee consistent performance out of any rifle.
