PROTECTED HOLLOW POINT PROGRESSIVELY TAPERED JACKETCORE AND JACKET BONDING

Designing a bullet with a protected hollow point is a guarantee of fast and optimal expansion at all distances and impact speeds.The design also keeps the end of the nose cone in perfect condition when you load or unload your rifl e, which is a decisive element for guaranteeing extreme accuracy.

The contoured jacket made from copper (95%) and zinc (5%) alloy has been specially designed for working jointly with the bonding process.At the front, the jacket’s thickness is reduced for generating perfect ex-pansion at all impact speeds and on all types of game. The POWER MAX® is just as high-performance for battue and still hunting.At the back end of the bullet, the jacket is reinforced for controlling the expansion process and guaranteeing high weight retention. In this way, the jacket’s design is an added extra for the bonding technology.

The unique bonding process is a Winchester® proprietary development, based on applying a fl ux that promotes the combining of the 2 materials followed by heat treatment. As a result, the lead core and the copper/zinc alloy jacket (gold metal) are permanently bonded together. The very high level of weight retention guarantees increased knockdown power and deep penetration. Despite the bullet’s very wide diameter after expansion, the absence of any fragmentation guarantees an important permanent cavity, but without any damage to fl esh.

Winchester® presents its neW big game ammunition

AvAilAble cAlibReS

The new Power Max Bonded™ bullet, exclusively developed and loaded by Winchester®, is based on a combination of 3 technologies that work together for pushing per-formance and effectiveness limits even further back.

In Power Max Bonded™, thanks to the bonding process, the core and the jacket expand together without breaking or separating. The bullet has a very high weight retention which means maximum energy for lightening knockdown power and very deep penetration. The absence of any fragmentation of the bullet, despite its wide diameter after expansion (twice the initial diameter) guarantees an impor-tant permanent cavity, without any damage to flesh.

The protected hollow point guar-antees fast optimal expansion at all distances and impact speeds.Moreover, with this design, the end of the bullet is kept in perfect con-dition when you load or unload your rifle, which is a decisive element for guaranteeing extreme accuracy.

Last but not least, jacket thickness at every point of the bullet has been studied to provide optimal expansion: a thinner tapered part at the front for providing perfect expansion at all impact speeds and for all types of game, thicker towards the back of the bullet for controlling the expansion proc-ess and guaranteeing high weight retention. In this way, the jacket’s design adds even more to the bonding technology.

1 bullet, 3 technologies for maximum effectiveness on still or battue hunting

Incredibly wide expansion for maximum energy transfer and the highest possible

knockdown power

Excellent penetration
