Black Talon 9mm ammo

[Honey Badger]

can you still purchase Black Talon Ammo? I know there was some hullabaloo about it once upon a time. But I haven’t seen any around in a long time.

Thanks

Winchester discontinued the Black Talon line completely in 2000. The “Ranger SXT” ammunition sold later by Winchester is very similar to the Black Talon though without the black Lubalox coating on the bullet.

In 2009 Winchester-Olin released a new hollow point bullet in its Supreme Elite line of handgun ammunition called the Bonded PDX1. It is similar to the Ranger SXT series and the older Black Talon design in its structure, and is available in several calibers and loadings. The most obvious difference from the SXT is that the bonded design, meant to maintain structural integrity through difficult intermediate barriers like auto-glass, largely prevents the sharp petals from peeling away from the lead core and fully protruding into the wound track.

The hype and legend is better than the performance by today’s standards.

Thanks for the offer but I am all about the 9mm. You have a collectible piece of history it sounds like.
