Got my hands on a decent supply and hit the range yesterday. Fired the 147 bonded round (two boxes each) thru my Walther P99 and my HK P7M8. Both had zero feed issues and at 25 yards, the average of both guns was just shy of 1.5 inches. Compared to the Ranger "T" round, I'm convinced it's the same round only bonded. Great stuff if you can find it at a decent price. I'm waiting on some of the 45acp now and hope to have it next week. When the rain finally stops (maybe a month or two), I can get outside and do some testing of the expansion and penetration vs the Ranger "T"'s.

False.
While the new PDX is essentially the exact same round as the Ranger Bonded, it bears no resemblence to the "T series" because for one reason it lacks the talons.
When you test them, you'll see what I'm saying.

PDX looks interesting but I am already well stocked on defense ammo. I may try some if and when ammo prices return to reason.

Check out the .45 PDX1...Don't know if its quite talons, but it looks nasty.
