Ranger T-Series

[CajunMP357]

How you are, from da bayou, mon sha'!
I didn't see a new members section, so here I am, from Louisiana.
My EDC is usually a M&P .357 SIG loaded with 125 gr. PDX1 ammo.
Just recently, my son purchased he and I each a 50 rd. box of 165 gr. Ranger T-Series .40 cal. ammo. This is my 1st box of Ranger, New style Black Talon, SXT, non bonded PDX1 ammo. Is the T-Series the NEW BT? I'm sure there are LEO's here that have used the old BT ammo, and can verify if the T-Series is the NEW BT ammo.
BTW, I contacted Winchester and they DID state the Ranger and PDX1 are the same bullet.

The Ranger (now Ranger T) is the same bullet design as the former Black Talon.

The Black Talon was a Public Relations disaster for Winchester.

In a stroke of marketing genius, they stopped coloring the bullets black and renamed the ammo Winchester “Ranger”
With a star on the box.

And thus so called “racist killer bullets” were re-branded as America, Mom and Apple Pie.

No idea on the PDX1 vs Ranger T.

Black Talon / Ranger T works but so does HST and Gold Dot. There are no magic bullets.

Pdx1 is the same as Ranger Bonded.
