Does the Winchester SXT load expand after penetrating heavy clothing?

I picked the 230 gr Federal HydraShok round because the latest Marshall & Sanow book rates it a 96% stopper, i.e., one shot stops in 166 out of 173 shootings. Some people attack Marshall's methodology, but they tend to be jello shooters. To my knowledge, no one has ever needed to use a forty-five to repel the attack of a block of gelatin.

I'll second the Ranger SXT recommendation. It feeds as well as anything I've shot in 1911's, BHP's and CZ's. It has also proven to be very accurate. Saving 30 - 50 percent over the other premiums doesn't hurt either.

M.A.H. Supplies, http://mahsupplies.net , has about the best prices on the net for Ranger ammo. M.A.H. normally stocks all calibers of Ranger ammunition and enjoys a good reputation.

HTH,
