Since 2015, deer and other big game hunters have been discovering first-hand the incredible effectiveness of the Deer Season XP loads by Winchester. Deer Season XP has developed a strong following among deer hunters who love the large diameter polymer-tipped bullet that reliably delivers devastating terminal performance.

Offered in 15 of the most popular deer and big game hunting calibers across North America and Europe, the Deer Season XP line now includes two new chamberings: a 117-grain .25-06 Remington load and a heavy 250-grain .450 Bushmaster load.

.25-06 Remington, standardized in 1969 after half a century of existence as a wildcat based on the .30-06 Springfield case, is a high-velocity classic ammunition for deer hunting capable of reaching up to 2,990 ft/s (910 m/s) of muzzle energy out of a 24-inch barrel in a 120-grain load.

The .450 Bushmaster is instead set to become a modern-day classic among hunting cartridges, having been specifically conceived for hunting uses of AR-15 type rifles and carbines and other modern sporting and hunting firearm platforms.

The new Winchester Deer Season XP .25-06 Remington and .450 Bushmaster loads are available in 20-rounds boxes
