Power-Point (PP)

Hunting

Power-Point (PP) is Winchester's proprietary soft-point hunting bullet design, featuring a notched jacket that helps initiate and control expansion. The strategically placed notches (typically at the cannelure) act as weak points that fold back predictably upon impact, promoting consistent mushrooming. The exposed soft lead tip starts expansion while the notched jacket peels back in a controlled manner. Power-Point ammunition has been a hunting staple for decades, known for reliable performance at an affordable price.
