Medium Game Optimization and Rapid Large-Diameter Expansion The Winchester Deer Season XP .25-06 Remington 117-grain Extreme Point Polymer Tip (XP) Brass 20-round box is a high-velocity centerfire rifle cartridge engineered specifically for harvesting whitetail deer, mule deer, and medium-sized game. A common friction point when hunting deer with traditional cup-and-core soft points is delayed expansion on light-framed game, leading to narrow wound channels and prolonged tracking efforts. Winchester resolves this terminal limitation by outfitting the 117-grain projectile with an oversized Extreme Point polymer tip, which mechanically triggers immediate, wide-diameter expansion upon target impact to maximize knockdown power.
The primary technical advantage centers on the enlarged polymer tip geometry, which covers a significantly larger percentage of the frontal meplat than standard polymer-tipped hunting bullets. Upon impact, the oversized tip acts as an immediate wedge, forcing the alloy jacket and lead core to mushroom rapidly into a broad, energy-transferring mushroom. Coupled with a sleek, aerodynamic profile that increases the bullet's ballistic coefficient, the round resists air drag and wind deflection to maintain high velocity, flat flight paths, and kinetic energy at extended distances.
Launching its 117-grain projectile at 2,990 FPS and producing 2,322 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this .25-06 Rem load delivers the flat trajectories and lethal stopping power required for open-field and timber hunting alike. Assembled in precision-drawn, reloadable virgin brass cases fitted with non-corrosive Boxer primers and clean-burning propellants, it ensures smooth feeding, dependable ignition, and flawless extraction in both bolt-action and semi-automatic hunting rifles.
