Description

Winchester Expedition ammunition is purpose-built for hunters who stretch their effective range. This load pairs the proven 7mm Remington Magnum with Nosler's AccuBond Long Range bullet—a specialized projectile designed for the exact challenges that come with shots beyond typical hunting distances.

The 168-grain AccuBond-LR bullet features a tapered copper-alloy jacket that's thin at the nose for easier expansion yet thicker toward the base for retained weight and deep penetration. The bonded lead-alloy core stays locked to the jacket across a wide velocity range, from close-range impacts all the way out to extended distances where velocity has dropped significantly. What sets this apart from standard bonded bullets is the AccuBond-LR's design to expand reliably at impact velocities as low as 1300 fps, compared to 1800 fps for conventional hunting bullets. That engineering matters when you're making shots beyond 500 yards.

Winchester Expedition's Ballistic Advantage

The polymer tip aids aerodynamic performance while initiating consistent expansion on impact. At 2900 fps muzzle velocity with 3137 ft-lbs of energy, this load delivers a flat trajectory and strong retained energy downrange. The 0.616 ballistic coefficient keeps the bullet flying straight in wind and resists the drop that affects lighter projectiles over extended ranges. Brass casings are reloadable for handloaders.

When You Need the Right Tool for Long-Range Work

AccuBond-LR bullets were developed specifically for long-range hunting. They excel when you need one load to handle whatever range presents itself—from 100 yards to beyond 500. The bullet's design gives controlled expansion without over-penetrating on close shots or failing to open on distant ones, making it a versatile choice for elk, moose, and other large game where hunters can't always control the distance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes AccuBond Long Range bullets different from standard AccuBond bullets?

AccuBond-LR bullets are redesigned to expand at lower impact velocities, with a minimum of 1300 fps versus 1800 fps for standard AccuBonds. This design allows them to perform reliably on game at extended distances where velocity has dropped significantly. The tapered jacket and bonded core work across a much wider velocity range, making them better suited for shots beyond 500 yards where conventional bonded bullets might fail to expand.

Is this ammunition good for shots under 300 yards?

Yes, but with an important consideration. The AccuBond-LR bullet's soft construction is optimized for expansion at longer ranges and lower velocities. At close range with higher impact velocities, some hunters have reported bullets that are softer than standard AccuBonds. If your hunting is primarily under 300 yards, Winchester's standard Expedition loads or other ammunition with traditional AccuBond bullets might be better suited for your needs.

What game is the 168-grain load suitable for?

The 168-grain AccuBond-LR is well-suited for elk, moose, and similar large game. The weight provides good penetration and energy retention, while the bullet's design handles the full range of impact velocities from close work to extended distances. Many hunters favor the 168-grain for its balance of velocity, recoil, and power in the 7mm Remington Magnum platform.

Can I reload these brass cases?

Yes. Winchester Expedition ammunition comes in reloadable boxer-primed brass cases, making it economical for handloaders who want to develop their own loads or shoot more frequently. The brass can typically be reloaded several times with proper care and attention to load development practices.
