Winchester Big Bore Ammunition

New for 2023 from Winchester Ammunition is the Big Bore line designed for knock-down power for hunting as well as personal defense.

Winchester loads its Big Bore line with semi-jacketed hollow-point bullets in brass cases. The Big Bore line is a prime candidate for revolvers and carbines, as well as today’s semi-automatics, with available chamberings in .357 Mag. (157 grains), 10 mm Auto (200 grains), .44 Mag. (240 grains) and .45 Colt (250 grains).

MSRP ranges from $34 to $58. For more information, visit winchester.com.
