Enhanced by Winchester’s Lubalox black oxide coating process the Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip Hunting Bullet features Nosler’s Ballistic Tip technology for accuracy penetration and controlled expansion while reducing fouling and extending barrel life. Lubalox is a very thin oxide bullet coating that not only reduces pressure and friction between bullet and bore but also protects the surface of the bullet jacket. The aerodynamic polymer Silvertip initiates rapid and uniform expansion of the bullet upon impact while the fully-tapered jacket provides maximum energy transfer and optimum weight retention at all practical velocities. Equipped with a heavily jacketed base that acts as a platform for large-diameter mushrooms and a boat-tail design that enhances long-range accuracy the Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip is a favorable design for reloaders wanting to shoot more clean less.
