The Winchester Deer Season XP 7mm-08 Remington load combines a 140-grain Extreme Point polymer-tip bullet with a muzzle velocity of 2800 feet per second and 2437 foot-pounds of energy. Built specifically for whitetail and mule deer, the large-diameter polymer tip initiates rapid expansion on impact, while the tapered copper jacket maintains penetration through shoulder and vitals. The alloyed lead core transfers energy efficiently, and the G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.484 keeps trajectory flat to 200 yards. Boxer-primed brass cases are reloadable. Winchester loads this ammunition in the United States, using non-corrosive primers and commercial-grade components.
Built for the Box
The Extreme Point projectile features a contoured copper jacket with a tapered profile engineered for controlled expansion. The large-diameter polymer tip sits flush with the jacket mouth, accelerating upset on whitetail vitals. The alloyed lead core is seated to optimize weight retention and energy transfer at 7mm-08 velocities. Boxer primers and brass cases allow you to reload once factory stock is depleted.

This load fits bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles chambered in 7mm-08 Remington. The 140-grain bullet weight balances sectional density and velocity for whitetail-sized game at ranges to 250 yards. More deer-specific ammunition is available in our 7mm-08 ammo category.
Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition.
