Winchester Ranger's 115+P+ -percent of fragmention

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am interested in the Winchester Ranger 115+P+ and was wondering if anyone on Sig Forum knew of where I might find the percent of fragmention from this round after it has been fired into its intended target. Can anyone suggest any sites where they have done ballistic tests on this ammo?
Thank you for all opinions.

Would you do me a favor and at least change the forum name before you cut and past a message into this forum?

Good catch, para!

My mistake with the forum name--sorry!

What brand are you shooting I can only help you with winchester and their +p+ is 127gr

http://www.winchester.com/lawenforcement/testing/testing.aspx#

The only 115gr round I can find is silvertip or military ball Silvertip is +p not +p+

Gents,

Winchester Silvertip 115 gr. JHP's (X9MMSHP) is a standard pressure round. We clocked that load at 1,131 FPS from my Browning Hi-Power.
By comparison Winchester's 127 gr +P+ Ranger LE load (RA9TA) clocked 1,236 FPS from the same Hi-Power.
At present I don't know of any testing that shows the percentage of fragmentation gotten from the Federal 115 gr. +P+ loading.
Federal's standard pressure 115 gr. JHP's (9BP) gave 1,190 FPS.

Hope this helps.
