Winchester Copper Impact Ammunition 6.8 Western 162 Grain Copper Extreme Point Polymer Tip Lead-Free 20RD

Winchester Copper Impact ammunition in 6.8 Western is purpose-built for serious big game hunters who demand reliable, lethal performance in the field. Built around a 162-grain solid copper projectile with a polymer tip, this lead-free round combines controlled expansion with excellent energy transfer—the kind of downrange reliability that matters when you're glassing distant ridges or sitting over a waterhole. The 6.8 Western's already impressive ballistics get even sharper with Copper Impact's engineered boattail design, which keeps the bullet stable and on-target at distance while the hollow-point copper construction maximizes weight retention through the shot.

What sets Copper Impact apart is Winchester's focus on the moment of impact itself. The large polymer tip initiates rapid, consistent expansion the instant the bullet meets resistance, creating the kind of trauma that puts animals down quickly and humanely. Solid copper construction eliminates lead and means no fragmentation—just deep penetration and a wide wound channel. That combination of speed and energy transfer is exactly what separates ethical kills from wounded game.

Whether you're hunting mule deer in high country, elk in timber, or anything in between, this ammunition delivers the flat trajectory and retained velocity to perform at distances most hunters actually encounter. Each box contains 20 rounds ready to load and shoot. The lead-free design is compliant with regulations in areas where traditional ammunition is restricted, so you're not compromising on capability to meet local requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game is Winchester Copper Impact 6.8 Western designed for?

Copper Impact is engineered for big game hunting—deer, elk, and comparable-sized animals. The 162-grain solid copper projectile and polymer tip are optimized for the expansion and energy transfer that makes for quick, ethical kills across typical hunting ranges.

Is this ammunition lead-free?

Yes. Winchester Copper Impact uses a solid copper projectile instead of traditional lead, making it compliant with lead-free ammunition regulations in restricted areas while maintaining the terminal performance hunters expect.

How many rounds are in a box?

Each box contains 20 rounds.

Will this ammo shoot flat at long range?

The engineered boattail design improves ballistic coefficient for stable, consistent flight at distance. Combined with the 6.8 Western's inherent flat trajectory, this ammunition is built to perform beyond typical hunting ranges.
