| Someone owes me a favor and I have my choice of three cases of 9 mm ammo to make it good. They have Winchester Ranger LE, Speer Gold Dot and Federal HST. Which one do I pick up later this evening? |
|
Quoted:
They are all good ammo and all run equally as well in several 9mm guns that I have. I usually buy any of the 3 if I can find them, but the Ranger-T seems to be the hardest to find. There are so many types of Ranger 9mm. The T-Series may not be what the guy has. |

There are so many types of Ranger 9mm. The T-Series may not be what the guy has. I'm aware of that and was just passing on my experiences. However, OP made it seem like new production cases, so I would assume it would be the -T and not the bonded. Maybe OP can find out... |

It also depends on what your gun likes. I have a couple of Kahr's that for some reason don't group worth a damn with Gold Dot's, but LOVE HST's as in one hole groups love. Seriously, my standard is a 5" x 5" square at 10 yards [come on it's a CCW gun, not a target pistol] and with the HST's all of the holes are touching, but the Gold dots are barely minute of pie plate at that range. As another data point, those same guns shoot CCi Blaser 147's flawlessly, but don't feed Remingtons at all.
The moral of the story is buy some of each and TEST them. |

Kind of on topic, but has anyone seen any 50 round boxes of the above mentioned 3 in-stock in the 147gr. variety? I have plenty of 124 gr. +P, but would like to try some 147gr. in my guns. SG ammo has/had them not long ago. They have a pretty decent selection most of the time. |

All things being equal, I would go with the HST. In my limited experience, HST edges out all the others, but only by a slim margin.
Personally, I would probably get 2 cases of HST and one of Ranger T. I really like the T-series, even though I consider the HST to be a better bullet. |
