20 Rounds of 40gr Polymer Tipped .223 Ammo by Winchester

There are 10 to 20 million prairie dogs in the United States of America. The average female prairie dog has a litter of three to eight pups every year. By our math, that means in just eight years the entire country will be covered in a mile-thick blanket of prairie dogs. That will have a negative impact on the U.S. economy.

Do your part to prevent so bleak a future – hunt some prairie dogs (or any other varmints and predators) with Winchester’s Varmint X 223 Remington ammunition! This cartridge is loaded with the 40 grain polymer tipped projectile small game animals fear. Its light weight and ballistically efficient (G1 0.204) profile both create great accuracy in the form of a flat trajectory. And when that polymer tip plows into a critter’s side, it presses inward to force the solid lead core and attenuated copper-alloy jacket to trigger explosive fragmentation.

This ammo’s fine reloadable brass cases and uniform explosive components both promise dependable functionality in any kind of 223 or 5.56 rifle. While explosive fragmentation may sound like just the ticket for personal protection, this round’s bullet is not designed to penetrate very deeply before it bursts apart – i.e. not the best terminal ballistics for neutralizing a large and determined threat to your safety.
