East Alton, IL based Winchester Ammunition let us know recently they have some new bullet technology for big game hunting. Here’s what we know. Winchester Ammunition: Expedition Big Game Whether peering through your scope at a bull elk on a distant ridge in North America or preparing for a heart-pounding up-close stalk on a huge kudu in Africa, the world’s biggest game requires a bullet that can hold together upon impact no matter what the distance of the shot. With so much on the line during these challenging hunts, when it’s time to pull the trigger is not the time to wonder if your bullet is up to the task. To make ammunition selection simple for hunters, Winchester is launching Expedition Big Game in 2016.
