Winchester Copper Impact 6.8 Western 162 Grain AccuBond Long Range Brass Cased Centerfire Rifle Ammunition
Copper Impact ammunition combines our extensive experience into a product specifically for hunters. The Copper Extreme Point bullet is a solid copper expanding projectile with an oversized impact diameter. A bigger impact diameter means more impact trauma, better energy transfer, and larger wound cavities for faster knockdown.
The 6.8 Western is a centerfire rifle cartridge designed by Winchester Repeating Arms Company and Browning Arms Company. Introduced to the market in 2021 as a big game hunting cartridge that may be also used for long range target shooting.
With no competitors other than the .270 Weatherby Magnum, the .270 Winchester ammunition has remained the most popular cartridge of its class for nearly a century. By 2002, Winchester introduced the .270 Winchester Short Magnum, as part of its then-new line of Short Magnum cartridges, which was faster by 200 fps resulting in a flatter trajectory and approximately 50 more yards of MPBR, with the advantage of being chambered in a short action similar to the size of the .308 Winchester . However, this cartridge was designed to shoot 110- to 160-grain bullets to be stabilized by 1:10 twist barrels, similar to the .270 Win.
In 2007, Hornady launched its new 6.5 Creedmoor, also designed to be fed from a short action mechanism. Thought of as a bench-rest competition cartridge rather than a hunting cartridge, it is designed to shoot heavy-for-caliber, high B.C. bullets that need a faster twist to be stabilized. Nevertheless, it started to gain followers among hunters to become one of the most popular big game hunting calibers of the time, mainly due to the development of affordable rangefinders, which reduce the advantages of flat trajectories within moderate ranges as the shooter doesn’t need to “guess” distances anymore.
