Winchester 7mm-08 Remington Ballistic Silvertip 140gr Polymer Tip Ammo

A: While exact expansion ratios can vary depending on impact velocity and target medium, Ballistic Silvertip bullets typically expand to about 1.5 to 2 times their original diameter. This controlled expansion helps create an effective wound channel while maintaining penetration.

A: The effective range can extend beyond 300 yards for skilled marksmen, depending on the specific hunting situation and the shooter's ability. Its high ballistic coefficient helps maintain velocity and energy at longer distances, contributing to its extended effective range.
