Winchester Power Point 6mm Remington ammo pushes a 100 grain jacketed soft point to 3100 feet per second, generating 2133 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. This load is engineered for whitetail deer and similarly sized game, where controlled expansion and weight retention matter more than fragmenting velocity. The 6mm Remington cartridge — a necked-down .257 Roberts case introduced in 1955 — remains a flat-shooting medium-game option for shooters who favor lighter recoil and flatter trajectories than .270 Winchester, with sufficient sectional density to drive bullets through shoulder blades and ribs. Winchester has manufactured the Power Point line since the 1960s, pairing notched-jacket soft points with consistent propellant metering to deliver repeatable point-of-impact across multiple boxes.
Load Profile
The 100 grain JSP uses a tapered copper jacket with an exposed lead tip and internal notching to initiate expansion on impact. At 3100 fps, this bullet carries a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.356 — sufficient to retain supersonic velocity past 400 yards in standard atmospheric conditions. Muzzle energy of 2133 ft-lbs drops to approximately 1600 ft-lbs at 200 yards, still above the 1000 ft-lb threshold commonly recommended for deer. Brass cases are boxer primed and reloadable; primers are non-corrosive. Each box contains 20 rounds, suitable for sight-in and a full day afield.

This load suits bolt-action rifles chambered in 6mm Remington, including the Remington 700, Ruger 77, and similar platforms with 22- to 24-inch barrels and 1:9 twist rates. Verify current 6mm Remington loads for alternative bullet weights if your rifle’s twist rate or intended game differs from the 100 grain JSP’s design envelope.
