Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Anyone got the skinny on Winchester Defend?
Posted: 7/23/2014 6:52:24 PM EDT
I've been looking for PDX1 in 9mm, having heard from reliable sources that it is equivalent to RA9B, but all I can seem to find is their new Train and Defend line.  Anybody got any info on it?

The August issue of American Rifleman magazine has an article on the ammo.

It appears that the defend ammo is using a new bonded jhp bullet. The numbers seem ok. 9mm 147gr @ 950fps sounds good. The only thing is that these rounds are new and may not have been tested by a third party yet.
I would just order some more proven rounds (hst, ranger-t, gold dot) from SGammo.com or MAHsupplies.net

I hope the low velocity 38spl 130gr B does well in testing

I will drop ranger 130+P B in a heart beat.

wouldn't mind trying the 50FPS slower 147gr load as well.
although I don't like the standard pressure 147gr 9mm loads in my P30s
