The hollowpoint is a six-petaled gaping maw of an opening that promises lots of terminal ballistic performance, and its expansion does not disappoint. Adding reliable feeding to the round is a nickel-plated case or cases, as the PDX1 line is going to start out in six loads in four calibers.
Performance was everything you'd expect of a load the FBI is receiving as I write this: Full expansion, with the average of the first five round being .615-inch, and full FBI penetration, averaging 15 inches of gelatin. This is not ammo for the faint-of-heart. Launching a 180-grain bullet in the close vicinity of 1000 fps takes work, and your hand will realize that. But if it is performance you want, this ammo delivers.

So is this bullet a replacement for the Ranger line, or better? Anyone know?
