    I don't have any definitive info on this, but I do recall one of the Winchester engineers speaking about a widened expansion window being a feature of their updated Ranger-T line, to address this very issue..

    Now many say that the 147gr maybe a good choice but I have always been a "Show Me" type of person that likes to see solid, reliable testing results before making a defensive ammunition choice.

    Would anyone know what the expansion window velocity wise for the Federal HST 147gr loading is?
    That's exactly why I ask. I am a "show me" type of person and there seems to be no clear answer to this question in sight, I've been looking pretty hard.

    But just how wide is that window. I bought a case of 127gr +P+, I think I may have to dedicate a box to some testing. I think that it will yield good results. I'm just, again, a "show me" type of person.

    That +P+ loading in a small light weight pistol is going to be a handful, please post a review once you have a chance to do so.

    Will do. It should be a couple of weeks before I get to. I'll do some side-by-side comparison with some other types of ammo too.

    Viperashes,

    Did you ever get a chance to test out the different loads?

    Thanks!
