Winchester Ammo SBST2506A Ballistic Silvertip Hunting 25-06 Rem 85 gr Fragmenting Polymer Tip 20 Per Box/ 10 Cs

Winchester Ballistic Silvertip ammunition in 25-06 Remington brings proven long-range hunting performance to a versatile cartridge. Built around a fragmenting polymer tip and boat-tail design, these 85-grain rounds deliver the aerodynamic stability and accuracy needed for distant shots while the lead-alloy core supports reliable penetration and controlled expansion. If you hunt varmints or medium game at extended range and want ammunition engineered for velocity-driven ballistics, this is a solid choice for your 25-06 rifle.

The Ballistic Silvertip line bridges the gap between pure accuracy and hunting performance. The polymer tip doesn't just improve ballistic coefficient—it initiates expansion as soon as bullet velocity allows, which in the smaller 25-caliber means rapid fragmentation. That matters when you're shooting at lighter game or varmints where you need reliable, quick incapacitation without excessive pass-through or meat damage.

Winchester packages these rounds in boxes of 20, with 10 boxes per case for hunters who like to stock up. The 25-06 is known for flat trajectory and relatively light recoil, making it comfortable to shoot during a long day afield. If you've built your rifle around this underrated cartridge, Winchester's Ballistic Silvertip ammunition respects the ballistic advantages the 25-06 offers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ammunition good for long-range hunting?

Yes. The Ballistic Silvertip design—polymer tip, boat-tail, and contoured jacket—is engineered for extended-range performance. The 25-06 platform itself is known for flat trajectory, and this ammunition leverages that advantage.

Will this round expand reliably on game?

The fragmenting polymer tip initiates expansion at typical hunting velocities. In the 25 caliber, that expansion occurs rapidly, which is effective on varmints and lighter game. Expansion behavior depends on impact velocity, which varies with distance and individual rifle characteristics.

What game is the 25-06 Remington best suited for?

The 25-06 works well on varmints and medium game. The 85-grain Ballistic Silvertip is a common choice for that application, though game selection and shot placement remain the shooter's responsibility.

How much ammunition is in a case?

Each case contains 10 boxes of 20 rounds, for a total of 200 rounds per case.
