Just got done testing 5 rounds of the Winchester Ranger in 180gr :
Block calibrated at 8.5cm and 590 ft/sec (all values are corrected values, actual calibration is not as good.)
Shot 1 - Penetrated to 12.5", expanded to 0.596" average diameter and impacted at 955 ft/sec.
Shot 2 - Penetrated the entire 16" block and was not recovered. Impact velocity was 946 ft/sec.
Shot 3 - Penetrated to 13.3", expanded to 0.630" and impacted at 949 ft/sec.
Shot 4 - Penetrated to 12.8", expanded to 0.617" and impacted at 950 ft/sec.
Shot 5 - Penetrated the length of the 16" block and was not recovered. Impact velocity was 957 ft/sec.
Special thanks to Winchester for making this round - and to the commercial distributors who sell it to non-LE civilians, despite the 'evil' lineage of the cartridge. I like to call it 'Black Talon's friendlier cousin'.
