Winchester Ranger Ammo

Butlerford:  I have a bit experience with the Winchester Ranger ammo in 45 at an indoor range.  It was accurate and easy to shoot.  Another shooter was using a Beretta 9 with the 9mm Rwnger ammo and his results were the same - accurate and easy to shoot.

However, a Nov/05 Gun Tests Magazine article basically provided that this ammo should be used when shooting in enclosed ranges to minimize lead pollution in the air and to reduce the possibility of a ricochet.  They specifically state not to use this ammo for personal defense as it will overpenetrate and create a hazard for innocent bystanders.  Also, the stuff is expensive.  HTH.  Mikey.
