Ammo question - Winchester's SXG 230 .45 - The Firearms Forum

WildcatFan · 10-26-2009, 06:26 PM

I was told by the Sales Rep that this is a special load made for Bass Pro. Its the same price as Winchester "white box" personal protection, 230 ammo and was explained as a better load that "white box" but they could sell it at the same price since it was made especially for Bass Pro. Is this stuff better or did I just bit for the line?

Thanks.

Not sure which one the sales rep was refering to.

I personally have never shot it, I will pick up a box next time I am up in Dallas, just to see what I think of it. Personal opinion - I would rather shoot my XTP reloads for my training and practice. I can still beat their price and probably have better results too. Fed HydraShoks or Hornady TAP are my choice in PD ammo; one area where price is not an object. Quality and proven consistency are worth every penny in that dept.
