    Ranger T has changed

    Old on the left. A box I just got on the right.

    I looked closer and the bullets look fairly similar except that the rounded nubs on the old black talon style bullet are flat at the hollow point rim.

    I'd shoot them into gel jugs to see if they open up similar, but I don't have 4 jugs for this weekend.

    From another angle they look much similar. But without the shitty cell camera, you can immediately tell the bullet is different by looking at it.

    Is it possible for everyone to get Ranger T again or do you have a hook up?

    Shit. I just ordered it at AimSurplus. No hook ups. Added a 50 round box to my FMJ order because it was only $19.95. This is 40 cal, so I don't know if other calibers are available.

    Ok, thank you.
    I'll look this evening when I get home.

    That has always been a good feeder. The newer version looks like potentially a little less-so. Is the meplat not a little wider and sharper or is it just the pics?

    Popped open the box again to look, and there's bullets in there that look like the "old" version and some that are flatter at the meplat all mixed in.

    Strange. The meplats look to be the same diameter, and it doesn't appear to be bullet damage. Very strange.

    Take a pic and send it to Winchester. I had a squib with a 124g +p hollow point a few years ago. They sent us new ammo.

    A local PD ordered 180 g SXT as a duty load. The boxes were marked accordingly. Recoil impulse wasn't what they were used to. Rangemaster pulled a bullet and weighed it. Winchester used 155g bullets by mistake.
