Winchester White Box and Fenix .45ACP FMJ Range Comparison

-

 


Used two pistols:  Glock 41 & Kimber Pro-Carry II.  Both brands fired from both pieces at the same distances, same round counts, and same temperature (cold barrel, cooled barrel, and hot barrel).

These are my results in pics - note, any abnormalities in group size/location can be lain solely at the feet of the operator. Me.:





Kimber Pro Carry II - 25 yards - Fenix and Winchester 230gr FMJ

Glock 41 - 25 yards - both Fenix and Winchester 230gr FMJ


Bottom line:  I'm happy with all three of my practice ammunition brands (Winchester White Box, Freedom Munitions, and Fenix); not a real discernable difference in their performance when one takes the shooter and distances into account.

The only real nit I have to pick with Fenix is that on their web site from which I ordered, the 250 round order implies 5 boxes of 50 because of the picture shown.  When I picked it up, it was in a heavy plastic bulk bag.  A bit more tedious, but that didn't affect performance.

Get the best you can get at the best price you can get it.  And in the mean time, make sure you're doing dry fire with one of these:


There are competitor brands out there, too.  Just get one for your 'go to'...saves ammo, and makes your dry fire more 'interactive' and meaningful.

          DTG’s 2021 Updated 10 Week (If You’re Lucky) Plan                      to Prepare for the Worst-Case Scenario     It’s been about 13 or 14 years since I wrote this under my since retired ‘nom de guerre’, and commenting on a blog post recently, CA at Western Rifle Shooter’s Association asked me if I’d mind updating it.   This is a good base plan for folks you might know just waking up to the fact that things are spinning faster in the vortex than ever before, and this might be the best chance for them to get themselves in gear.   Feel free to add or take away as your situation and local area conditions may require.   Understand something, though:   You have a VERY small window; it may even be too late should something happen that accerlerates the current environment like a JATO (Jet Assisted Take Off) rocket on a C130.   So, if you’re just getting started, you need to act now, as in today.   Not next week.   Not in two weeks.   You may not HAVE two weeks. You may be thinking,

Beware of the Seductress...

Just as Samson was seduced by Delilah, so can you be seduced by the internal desire you have to one degree or another to have all the latest, greatest, coolest, most technically advanced, and 'tacticool' weapons, gear, and associated support equipment available,  which, by necessity, will set you back many, many thousands of dollars,  usually.  When sporty times come, the first thing you'll need to be able to do is actually use what you have.   The you have to be able to carry it all.  I mention this Nevada a great many,  "gear-a-holics" are not in the best shape.   Remember a good rule of thumb:  All your gear,  including weapons, ammo, equipment (all types), food and water shouldn't weigh more than about 65 or 70 pounds.  Then, if you're planning on being mobile, you should be ruckingin all sorts of weather over varying distances at a pace of no less than 3 miles an hour over relatively flat and clear routes.  But, if you've been collecting gear, I u
