200 Rounds of 150gr Defense Tip .300 AAC Blackout Ammo by Winchester

Any 300 AAC Blackout rifle can become a life-saving tool for home defense – but it’s only going to do its important job even more effectively once it’s loaded with the right kind of ammo. Winchester Silvertip? Well, that’s the right kind of ammo.

This cartridge features Winchester’s 150 grain Defense Tip projectile. It’s quite the attractive bullet thanks to its shiny exterior. That’s nickel plating, which protects the underlying solid copper-alloy jacket from becoming corroded while it's exposed to humidity in storage or in the magazine. Beneath the jacket is a resilient alloyed lead core that assures the bullet remains intact enough to gouge a deep wound channel into its target. Worse yet for the target, the Defense Tip’s large diameter polymer tip triggers unusually fast terminal expansion which cuts out a wider wound channel while simultaneously transferring shocking kinetic energy to surrounding soft tissues.

Winchester is one of those manufacturers whose reputation precedes them. It’s well deserved, because this ammo’s high-quality bullets are paired with equally high-quality brass cases and sensitive primers. This supersonic round’s 1,900 feet per second muzzle velocity means it will dump almost 1,100 ft lbs of energy into its target at 50 yards – about four times the average minimum recommended for defensive shooting.
