Winchester Ranger-Premium Ammo? - Page 2

I think "premium" is a word manufactures use to jack up the price. Federal Premium Personal Defense is about a buck a round in .45. Federal Law Enforcement HST is half that price. IMHO, the HST is better ammo.

I haven't had a single malfunction shooting this ammo. When I go to the range, I usually fire off a couple mags of it before changing to reloads or Blazers/WWB. I've noticed the Ranger stuff seems to recoil less and shoot tighter groups. I do like it a lot.

Thanks. And to the rest of you guys that posted the links and stuff. I guess it was the T ammo I was thinking about but this was a good price anyway. I won't be to the range until Monday or Tuesday, but I might pick up some more before then anyway and I'll be looking for the Talons and 9mm also. I have two excellent gun shops within a mile of each other to check and ask.
