Best Uses

Big bodies need a bullet that stays in one piece. That is the job of the 180-grain Copper Impact. Take it after elk, moose or a big bear where lead-core bullets are off the table. Winchester Copper Impact 30-06 180 grain rounds cost less than many premium copper loads, so you can afford a full box for sight-in. Shoot a group at 100 yards first. Then check 200 and 300 yards, since this heavier bullet drops more than the 150. A deer tag in the same season is no problem for this load either. Hunters who only chase whitetail may prefer the lighter, softer-kicking 150-grain box.
