Winchester Supreme elite XP3 ammo

[mrb985]

Looking to change up to this for next season, read some reviews and it seems hit or miss. Anyone have some experience with this ammo? I am looking to shoot it in 30-06 and .243.

I shoot 150 xp3 in my 30-06. I have NO desire at all to change. Great performance on moose and Elk, no need to change bullets for deer.
Recoverd a fully double mushroomed XP3 from an elk this year. 98% weight retension.

X2. I used to use Partitions but figured unless a bone was hit a guy may as well use FMJ. Switched to XP3 in 150 grain in my 30-06 and have been very impressed. I have shot elk,whitetail, mule deerand moose. No animal has made it more than 20 steps.All kill shots have been within 200 yards however.

Prefect, Those are the 3 animals i am going for anyway. Any thoughts on the power max bonded as well?

I shot a bull elk with 180 gr power max bonded with my 30-06 at about 200 yards and he was dead before he hit the ground. Also just picked up a box in 150 gr for my 7 mag hope to have good results with them as well

Winchester designed the power max to be a premium grade bullet at an affordable price

I shoot 180gr out of my Remington 700 30-06 and they perform great. Excellent weight retention and accurate, I won't change anytime soon.

I had expansion problems with those bullets 130 g 270 wsm Wasn't to happy about it. Switched to barnes TSX havent had a problem since.

Couple of buddies shoot the XP3's in their 300WM - work great....great expansion and as mnetioned 98%+ weight retention.

Next choice IMO, would be the Winchester Supreme ammo in the Accubonds for your rifles.
