The Winchester Ballistic‑Silvertip 95 is a high‑performance expanding rifle cartridge designed for precision, power, and terminal effectiveness. Whether you’re hunting big game or looking for reliable ballistic performance, this ammunition delivers a smooth, accurate flight path and devastating controlled expansion upon impact. At Ammo Supply Canada, we prioritize safety, quality, and customer satisfaction, offering you peace of mind with every purchase.
What It Is
This is premium hunting ammunition that uses a polymer‑tipped bullet (the “Ballistic Silvertip”) seated over a lead core with a gilding-metal jacket. The polymer tip gives the bullet a sharply pointed profile, improving its ballistic coefficient and aerodynamics for flatter trajectories and higher retained energy. Once the bullet strikes its target, the tip drives back into the cavity, initiating rapid and reliable expansion.
Chemical Composition & Construction
-
Core: Lead, providing density and mass for deep penetration.
-
Jacket: Gilding metal (a copper-zinc alloy) that provides strength and supports controlled expansion without fragmenting destructively.
-
Tip: High-quality, precision-molded polymer. This tip is not only aerodynamic but helps to protect the core during feeding and improves the consistency of expansion.
-
Primer & Propellant: Factory-loaded Winchester propellant is engineered for consistent burn rates, tight tolerances, and uniform pressure curves in standard rifle chambers.
How It Works
When you fire the cartridge, the powder charge ignites, generating a high-pressure gas that propels the Ballistic Silvertip bullet down the barrel. Thanks to the polymer tip and its aerodynamic shape, the bullet maintains a stable, flat trajectory. Upon impact, the tip is driven backward into the hollow cavity in the bullet’s front, creating a rapid, symmetric expansion. This expansion increases the wound channel, transferring energy efficiently into the target while minimizing over‑penetration.
Benefits
-
Controlled Expansion: The bullet reliably mushrooms on impact, maximizing stopping power.
-
High Accuracy: Polymer tip and aerodynamic design enhance ballistic coefficient, resulting in tight groups.
-
Penetration & Energy Transfer: Excellent weight retention and deep penetration ensure lethal effectiveness on game.
-
Consistency: Precision manufacturing yields repeatable performance shot after shot.
-
Versatility: Suitable for a wide variety of big‑game species and terrain conditions.
Safety & Handling
Safety is paramount when handling any ammunition. Always store your Winchester Ballistic‑Silvertip 95 rounds in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Use proper handling practices—keep the rounds in original packaging until use, wear eye and ear protection, and ensure your firearm is compatible with the cartridge specifications. Because the bullet expands rapidly, hunters should be mindful of backstop conditions in the field and ensure safe shooting angles.
Longevity & Shelf Life
Thanks to the quality of the primer, powder, and bullet construction, Winchester Ballistic‑Silvertip 95 ammunition offers excellent shelf stability when stored properly. When kept in a climate-controlled environment and still in its original sealed packaging, you can expect these rounds to remain reliable for many years. This makes them a great option for those buying in bulk or stocking for future hunts.
Usage Scenarios
-
Big Game Hunting: Ideal for deer, elk, or other large mammals thanks to its controlled expansion.
-
Long‑Range Shooting: The aerodynamic tip helps maintain velocity and accuracy at extended distances.
-
Target Practice: While built for hunting, these rounds are consistent enough for precision practice.
-
Backup or Defensive Use: In jurisdictions where rifle use is permitted defensively, the expansion properties make these bullets effective.
