Winchester Ranger Talon

[Guest benchpresspower]

Just ordered a 50rd box of Winchester Ranger Talon .45 from Ammunitiontogo.com

Any of you ever used this? I was reading that this is basically the 3rd generation of the Black Talon bullet. I'm guessing this is pretty heavy stuff after reading that Winchester took the Black Talon off the market.

Good stuff and yes is the same thing as the Black Talon. It was a politically incorrect mess with no real substance.

Ranger-Ts are actually a much improved design, and outperform the original Black Talon.

True, I was over simplifying their lineage.

Have seen some good recomendations on their 9mm. Having trouble finding it myself.

I've bought Ranger-T from this guy several times.

Good guy to deal with.

I checked on the link you posted but the guy said he's sold out of them Ranger RA9TA. Those are then 127gr. +p+ for the 9mm. That is some good stuff. I've been trying to find more of those rounds to no avail. I did some amateur test between the Ranger's and the Federal Hydrosocks and the ranger's seem to open up better than the federal's. I fired at pieces of some 2x4's with a damp phone book behind it to catch the bullet. the ranger's seem to penetrate and expand better upon hitting the wood. The hydroshock didn't hold up as well and one even warped. Here's a couple pictures. The Ranger RA9TA is to the left and Federal Hydroshock is to the right for comparison.
