The ammo you are talking about is the RA9T if I am not wrong, call them and verify. They all say SXT on the box

I've got a box of this left which is marked RA9SXT. The bullet itself is black instead of copper colored. The box is tan and labeled Winchester Law Enforcement Ammunition RANGER. I've no idea how it compares to more recent non-bonded versions of the same/similiar.

Some here are more qualified then me to answer that but what you have is the old Black Talon, they did change the bullet design since then.

It's a couple of generations old but I wouldn't stay home if it was all I had to take to the party.

I run 147gr Ranger and/or HST/Gold Dot out of my 26. I have heard/read many places it is typically the prefered round in shorter bbls due to getting a more complete powder burn vs. blowing a ton of unburnt powder out of the bbl with +p stuff.

I got this straight from the LE reps from Winchester and ATK...:eek:
