Winchester Ammunition Introduces 3″ Supreme Elite XP³ Slugs

March 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Winchester Ammunition has introduced a 3″ version of their Supreme Elite® XP³ slugs. In a nutshell, you have a lead-free, 300-grain sabot moving along at a snappy 2100 fps.

From Winchester Ammunition:

Hot on the heels of its highly successful launch of the Winchester® Supreme Elite® XP³TM 2-3/4-inch Slug in 2007, the renowned ammunition maker is following it up with a new 3-inch variation for even more knockdown power at near-centerfire rifle distances. The Supreme Elite XP³ 3-inch Slug features a patented, one-piece, 300-grain sabot designed to deliver high energy and deep penetration on big game. Winchester developed the highly accurate lead-free-alloy projectile to extend consistent, ethical and lethal big game hunting ranges beyond 175 yards in 12-gauge rifled barrel slug guns.

“Hunters will be extremely impressed with the increased performance of the new 12-gauge 3-inch XP³ Slug,” said Winchester Shotshell Product Manager Brad Criner. “This is a consistent and innovative product, one that pushes long-range accuracy, penetration and stopping power to the extreme.”

The new Supreme Elite XP³ 3-inch Slug features:

  • One-piece, lead-free alloy, 300-grain, tipped sabot
  • Plastic tip for improved down-range ballistics
  • High velocity at an incredible 2,100 feet per second
  • Deeper penetration at longer ranges
  • Tin core - lead free
