Winchester Ammunition has recently won the competition for .223 duty and training ammunition for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In order to meet the tough standards established by the FBI for their duty ammunition, Winchester collaborated with Nosler® and used their outstanding .223, 60 grain Partition® Bullet. This high performance bullet coupled with Winchester’s stringent loading capabilities provided the best balance between penetration, expansion and retained weight through all of the barriers in the tough FBI Barrier Testing.
The training ammunition also posed unique challenges in that it had to be completely non toxic. Winchester met this challenge with our Super Clean NT® product which features a 55 grain copper jacketed knurled tin bullet and non-toxic primer, and we met the accuracy and reliability that the FBI requires in their duty and training ammunition.
This New Winchester Ranger® Partition product will be available soon to all Law Enforcement Agencies under the symbol Q3283. The Super Clean NT jacketed tin core product is currently available under the symbol Q3262.
