Winchester .40 S&W 180gr PDX1 Supreme Elite Bonded JHP
Tested by the FBI to see if it can stand up to real world, life threatening situations, this ammunition has impressive expansion and notable velocities at various ranges thanks to Winchester's proprietary bonding process. The engineers have welded together the lead and jacket(Bonded) to obtain controlled expansion and a higher weight retention. The bonding can also take on the toughest barriers at varied ranges and velocities to simulate real world threat.
Upon impact, the jacketed hollow point initiates expansion up to 1-1/2 times the size of the original bullet diameter. The unique notching in the bullet creates six equal segments creating maximum expansion on impact. Finally, Winchester has chosen nickel plated brass to maximize reliability through smooth chambering and case ejection.
Ballistics Information:
- Muzzle Velocity: 1025 fps
- Muzzle Energy: 420 ft. lbs.
Video Description
— Basic penetration and expansion test for the Winchester PDX1 Supreme Elite Bonded JHP in .40 S&W. Four layers of denim was used in the test, and wet newspaper packed into one gallon jugs. Video also includes brief segments of "triple taps" to show recoil with a Glock 22.
This a new round (2009) but is already making an impact (no pun intended), as it has been adopted by the FBI as their duty load. It appears this cartridge will perform well, but I greatly appreciate the fact that it is currently widely available at many retail sports outlets, and for a reasonable price.
