Overview
Winchester Power-Point 6.5 Creedmoor X652 uses a 140 gr soft-point bullet. Winchester publishes 2,730 fps, 2,316 ft-lb, and a G1 ballistic coefficient of .413.
Power-Point is a conventional hunting design intended to provide reliable expansion and straightforward big-game performance without the premium construction of bonded or monolithic bullets.
Official Ballistics
Winchester publishes the muzzle velocity, muzzle energy, G1 ballistic coefficient, and a 24-inch test barrel for X652. The current official product page does not provide a product-specific distance table, zero distance, sight height, or wind-drift data, so no calculated trajectory or wind column is shown.
Bullet Design and Intended Use
The Power-Point bullet uses an exposed soft point and a jacket designed to initiate expansion. Its cup-and-core construction is positioned for traditional deer and general big-game hunting.
This load suits hunters who want a 140 gr conventional soft-point option. Confirm impact behavior for the intended game and verify point of impact in the rifle before hunting.
