You and TNOutdoors9 and hickok45 should have a joint vid of something!

@bradleywalters1 Sounds good to me...

i dont understand this. I've done multiple tests with all kinds of different hollow points and caliburs into phone books and jugs of water and can never get them to mushroom like that, I was starting to believe it was all a money making scheme and when they show the rounds mushroom out it was usually an ammo commercial. Obviously when you should targets or water jugs you can see it hits harder but i never see an expansion when recovering the bullet. I'll post a vid of my experiment soon

[andreleger2001]

@MrAzcabowabo It depends on the round. Most modern hollow points expand nicely. Are you using reloads? Maybe Montana Gold JHP? Those seem to shed the jacket and the core just keeps on trucking. Im assuming your phone book tests were water soaked and not dry. Looking forward to checking out your vids.

is this the same as the 147gr ranger black talon HPs?

[andreleger2001]

@alcor312 These are the third generation of them, yes. Winchester has tweaked the design (remove the coating, thicken the talons), but the Ranger-T is the ancestor of Black Talon.

@conservativlysound You're dead wrong, first of all that's hardly the entire Midwest.

2 there are no federal laws banning the sale of these items.

3 you were referring to the policies of specific shops, not state or federal laws, I can give you half a dozen online retailers that sell LE ammo to any state.

4 the label on the box is a marketing tactic and carries no legal weight.

Unless you can post specific links to specific laws. You sir, in fact, don't know what you're talking about.

[bigboss686]

@conservativlysound no there not

[GrenMoyo]

@bigboss686 very astute observation :). notice on the box it simply states "law enforcement ammunition" which is "very" different than "Law enforcement only". got to love marketing. And what they emphasize is that Winchester themselves will not distribute to people but dealers will, it's all a matter of when and if you find it.

[bigboss686]

@Kurpalac No they're not, online retailers will ship them to any state in the union except for the states in which ALL ammunition sales are banned. You can't get them shipped to MA for example, but that doesn't mean anything In regards to this or any other LE ammo as you can't get any ammunition ship to MA over the Internet.

Unless somethings changed in the last two years you can truck over to ammunition to go and buy a case of these if you like

@bigboss686 In the states of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.... Proof of Occupation is required other than Cheaper than Dirt. Dont tell me Im wrong, I went into a gun shop 2 weeks ago, and they said that they are branded as Law Enforcement Ammo, and are restricted to LEO's And Security only. Ranger Bullet Boxs' are labeled LAW ENFORCEMENT ONLY... Right on The Box
