East Alton, IL – -(Ammoland.com)- Winchester Ammunition continues to pioneer innovation and expand its rimfire offerings in 2011 by adding the Varmint HE 3/1 Segmenting expansion bullet to its rimfire hunting lineup.
The unique 3/1 segment design exclusive to Winchester, features a 37 gr plated HP fragmenting expansion bullet that delivers a blistering 1435 fps velocity, optimized for maximum accuracy.
The programmed hollow-point fragments include three forward segments, plus a solid rear core designed to provide explosive impact energy plus penetration.
In addition, the Varmint HE consists of non-corrosive priming and clean burning powder to generate a sure fire ignition every time.
