Yeah, I saw it on sale at Turners.

WHAT'S BETTER IN .40 CAL , WINCHESTER PDX OR RANGER .

[J-cat]

Depends on whether it's Ranger or Ranger Talon. The standard Ranger is just another hollow point. The Ranger Talon is the one with the claws. The PDX is a Ranger Talon bonded bullet that penetrates 20% deeper and does not uleash the claws cuz they be bonded to the lead.

I just saw these ammo at Turners yesterday and they are just the standard type JHP not the talon SXT type.

Likewise, I noticed the every case had a "Z" on it and wondered what that meant?

Does anyone know if this makes good for a Personal Defense load? is 135gr just too light of a bullet for it to fully expand?

The lighter the bullet, the faster the bullet, the more it expands- generally.

"Z" usually indicates IMI manufacture.

Generally, lighter = faster, more expansion, less penetration.

Bullet design has as much to do with performance as weight. I like the 165gr SXT in my .40s&w bedside gun.

IMI makes Winchester Ranger ammo?

I got three boxes of this at Turner's for $17.99 each, then at the Ontario Gun show I got a box of Lawman for $15 which was a HUGE hollow point, guaranteed to expand, really awesome stuff!

I like heavier bullets for my .40, so I'm currently using 180gr Gold Dots...proven track record, and actually not too expensive in the LE packaging. (less than $30 for 50-rd).

[speeedracerr]

IMO $17.98 for the Winchester Ranger JHP 135gr, I think thats not a bad price Wished it was a little heavier though, but not bad and Im sure it'll get the job done.

[rogtac]

is this the same bullet?
