anyone using winchester sxz .
do you like it/ do you hate it
is it a good personal protection round .
-
I've used a little. Made exclusively for Bass Pro, what ever that means. It usually means it's made by someone else and private labeled with Winchesters permission. It's kind of dirty..
I went bang when it was supposed to but for defense ammo, I rely on Federal Hydroshock or Remington Golden Saber.
It's inexpensive and supposed to match balistics with their target ammo of the same type....
It is not "Black Talon"...

I actually use strictly Winchester ammo for plinking, range and defense.
The SXZ is the Winchester USA ammunition with the addition of there Lubalox coating. I have ran it in my SR9, G21C and PX4 40 S&W with not one issue after more than 5,000 rounds. And The only gun I could say any appeared to be dirty in was my 21C thanks to the compensator.
I use the USA or SZX for plinking and the range and BlackTalons for home defense.
Also I have done comparissons between all of the Winchester stuff and have pictures of each type of bullet before and after each test.

Yea, I use Winchester white box for practice because it's reliable and relatively cheap to shoot. At about 4 or 5 bucks a magazine for .45 ACP, it can get a little pricey...I'd use the SXZ but Bass Pro is about an hour from my house and I don't get out there enough. You cannot buy mailorder ammo in Massachusetts.
I don't see any real difference in the coated over the FMJ but I don't shoot alot of the coated stuff to notice.
Whatever you decide for defense, make sure your comfortable with it. It needs to work when you need it too!

I just bought a box of .40 JHP for $17. The price is good for JHP and a 50 round box. I have not shot it yet but have this feeling it will not be around much longer. My bass pro is not keeping up their stock.
