I purchased what I thought was Ranger-T series ammo. When it arrived today I noticed I purchased the Bonded ammunition and not the T series. What's a better bullet? I was looking at winchesters comparison tool and the bonded bullet actually appears to perform better then the T series. They are both LEO ammunition. I have: Winchester RA9B What I at first wanted was:Winchester RA9T. What's better? Are there advantages to a bonded bullet? Let me know your thoughts here. I will probably just keep it and purchase the T series but I want more thoughts on this. I was also taking a look at the Speer Gold Dots. From what I can tell most LEO's love the stuff. I was considering getting a few boxes of that as well. What's your opinion on the #1 self defense round? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum! In simplest terms, the bonded yields greater penetration/terminal performance than the non-bonded, especially through barriers. That's more of a plus for LEO, but I honestly don't think you can go wrong w/either choice in the Ranger T line. Check out a past thread in here of one of the other 'caliber war' posts. Someone posted a copy of the Winchester ammo catalog & it shows you terminal performance stats of all their SD ammo.
I've decided to stick with the bonded. What are the Top Brands of Bonded 147grain ammunition? I like the rangers but I'd like to shoot a few different kinds and figure out what I like the best. Thanks in advance!
