20rds – 223 WSSM Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 55gr. Polymer Tip Ammo

Winchester Ammunition 55 Grain Polymer Tipped Ammo Details

223 Winchester Super Short Magnum ammunition will not work in firearms chambered for 223 Rem.

Is the 223 WSSM popular? Not exactly. But when you want a rifle that rules at dropping varmints and predators, the 223 WSSM really hits the sweet spot. Winchester loads this Ballistic Silvertip cartridge so you can deliver outstandingly deadly terminal ballistics to any small game animal which made the mistake of entering your crosshairs!

This cartridge’s 55 grain bullet is quite attractive. Its copper jacket’s black oxide coating reduces engraving forces and cuts down on fouling, and its signature silver-colored polymer tip streamlines the bullet’s meplat to promote a flatter trajectory. The bullet’s accuracy is further enhanced by its concentric jacket, thick deformation resistant base, and low-drag boat tail. All together these features heighten the bullet’s G1 ballistic coefficient to 0.281 (G7 0.136).

When impact presses the bullet’s polymer tip inward, it instantly jams into a solid lead core. This forces the bullet’s thin jacket to burst apart, which produces the rapid fragmentation which is invariably fatal to small creatures.

This ammunition’s nickel-plated brass cases resist becoming corroded when exposed to dampness and humidity, and also reduce metal-on-metal friction to promote smoother cycling in all rifles. Boxer-primed and reloadable!
