So I bought some Winchester PDX1 today.

What do you think of this load? It is the 180 Gr./1025 FPS .40 S&W.

NEW WINCHESTER® BONDED PDX1™—SUPERIOR PERSONAL PROTECTION AMMUNITION

The new Winchester Supreme Elite Bonded PDX1, which was chosen by the FBI as their primary service round, is now available in a full line of popular handgun calibers. The Bonded PDX1 is engineered to maximize terminal ballistics, as defined by the demanding FBI test protocol, which simulates real-world threats. The new Winchester Bonded PDX is offered in 9mm, 40 Smith & Wesson, 45 automatic and .38 special.
Winchester Bonded PDX1 technology is superior to competitive personal protection loads with features that include:

* Proprietary bonding process—Welds lead and jacket together to work as a unit controlling expansion and providing superior retained weight.
* Hollow point—Works with the bonding process for outstanding performance through tough barriers and impact velocities/ranges.
* Jacket notching—Six segments help promote positive, consistent and programmed expansion at a variety of impact velocities.
* Copper alloy jacket—Contoured for maximum upset over a wide range of velocities/ranges.
* Nickel plated shellcase—Helps ensure positive gun function through smooth chambering and shellcase ejection.

Looks like it will probably turn out to be a great bullet. Seems like the bonded petal type bullets are the new "break through" in bullet design.

Does it have talons?...

Yup, looks like another reincarnation of Black Talon, to me.

Good stuff, if it's loaded up the same.

I'm pretty sure this the Ranger Bonded renamed and packed 20 rounds to the box for commercial sale.

I don't see "talons" on that image. IMHO, JHPs don't require "talons" anyway.
