The Winchester Copper Impact 6.5 Creedmoor 125-grain Copper Extreme Point (CEP) Solid Copper Brass 20-round box is an advanced, non-toxic centerfire rifle cartridge engineered specifically for medium to large game hunting in lead-restricted regions and regulated hunting zones. A common friction point when hunting with traditional lead-core bullets is jacket-core separation upon striking dense muscle or heavy bone, which causes bullet breakup, weight loss, and shallow penetration. Winchester resolves this terminal limitation by building a monolithic solid-copper projectile topped with an oversized Extreme Point polymer tip, guaranteeing near-100% weight retention while driving rapid, wide-diameter expansion.
The core technical advantage relies on the interaction between the solid copper body and the wide polymer wedge tip. Upon target impact, the oversized polymer tip forces immediate, uniform expansion across varying impact velocities without fragmenting. Featuring a high 0.428 G1 ballistic coefficient and an aerodynamic boat-tail profile, the projectile minimizes downrange air drag and wind drift, preserving flight stability and kinetic energy across open-country distances. The solid copper construction maintains its structural integrity through heavy tissue, delivering straight-line pass-throughs and maximum energy transfer into vital zones.
Launching its 125-grain bullet at 2,850 FPS and producing 2,254 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this 6.5 Creedmoor load flattens trajectory curves for precise, long-range shot placement on whitetail deer, feral hogs, black bear, and pronghorn. Assembled in precision-drawn, reloadable virgin brass cases with non-corrosive Boxer primers and clean-burning propellants, it ensures flawless feeding, uniform chamber sealing, and smooth extraction in short-action bolt-action and semi-automatic hunting rifles while fully satisfying non-toxic lead-free ammunition mandates.
Key Benefits
