Ballistics Table

The table is a calculated reference based on Winchester’s official 2,550 fps muzzle velocity and 0.450 G1 BC. It uses G1 drag, standard atmospheric conditions, a 1.5-inch sight height, a 100-yard zero and a 10 mph 90-degree crosswind. It is not a manufacturer trajectory table.

Key Takeaway

Winchester Power-Point 140 gr is a conventional deer-hunting load with official 2,550 fps muzzle velocity, 2,021 ft-lbs muzzle energy and a 0.450 G1 BC.

The Power-Point Bullet and the 6.5×55 Swedish

The Winchester Power-Point is one of the longer-running hunting bullet designs in the American market, characterized by a notched copper jacket that initiates controlled expansion on impact. The notching pattern around the bullet’s nose creates stress points that promote consistent mushrooming across a range of impact velocities — a practical advantage when the same cartridge is fired from rifles with barrel lengths ranging from 20 to 26 inches, as is common with the 6.5×55 Swedish.

The 6.5×55 Swedish Mauser cartridge itself has an unusually long history, dating to a joint Norwegian-Swedish military adoption in 1894. It operates at relatively modest pressure compared to modern cartridges (CIP maximum is 55,100 psi), which means it is chambered in both modern bolt-action sporting rifles and older military surplus actions with varying strength ratings. Winchester loads this round to SAAMI/CIP standard pressure, making it appropriate for modern sporting rifles. Shooters using original pre-1900 military actions should consult a gunsmith before firing any commercial ammunition.

Best Uses

Good fit:

• Whitetail, mule deer, and pronghorn hunting at ranges inside 300 yards
• Hunters who prefer a proven cup-and-core design with a long field record over newer bonded or polymer-tip bullets
• Shooters working with 6.5×55 Swedish bolt-action rifles in good mechanical condition
• Situations where brass reusability matters — the Boxer-primed brass case is reloadable after firing
• Ranges where consistent terminal expansion at moderate impact velocity is more important than maximum retained weight

Not the right tool for:

• Elk, moose, or other heavy-bodied game where deeper penetration and higher retained weight from a bonded bullet are preferable
• Long-range precision shooting where a published and verified ballistic coefficient is essential for accurate come-up data
• Older military surplus actions (pre-1900 Swedish Mausers) without a confirmed proof rating for commercial ammunition
• Jurisdictions with lead-free ammunition requirements for hunting on public land — this is a traditional lead-core design

Reliability Notes

No structured submissions yet.

Based on manufacturer claims and open-source information: Winchester describes this load as offering consistent performance through brass-cased construction and the company’s long-established Power-Point bullet, which has been commercially available for several decades. The notched jacket design is intended to promote reliable expansion without the need for polymer tips or bonding processes. No active recall notices have been identified for this load as of this writing. Field accounts from open hunting forums suggest the Power-Point performs predictably on deer-sized game at moderate ranges, though specific velocity and expansion data from independent laboratory testing are not available for this chambering. All notes here come from manufacturer claims or open public sources — not structured data collected by this database.

Price Reality

• At $47.99 per box of 20, this load comes to $2.40 per round
• That positions it above budget options like Federal Power-Shok (~$1.60–$1.90/round) and Remington Core-Lokt (~$1.50–$2.00/round)
• It sits near or slightly below premium bonded loads such as Nosler Trophy Grade and Norma Oryx, which typically run $2.75–$3.50/round
• For a traditional cup-and-core soft-point without bonding or a polymer tip, $2.40/round is toward the upper boundary of fair value — buyers who do not need the Winchester brand specifically will find comparable terminal performance at lower cost from Federal or Remington
• The listed rebate eligibility may reduce effective cost; confirm current rebate terms directly with Winchester before purchase
• A case price is not confirmed from available data
