Description

Winchester Ranger Bonded .40 S&W 165 Grain JHP ammunition is a premium duty and defensive load engineered for controlled expansion, dependable penetration, and strong bullet-weight retention. This listing includes one factory box containing 50 rounds of Winchester RA40BA ammunition.

Winchester permanently bonds the bullet’s lead core to its jacket to help prevent core-and-jacket separation after impact. Additionally, the notched jacket is designed to expand into six uniform segments. This construction helps the hollow point maintain its integrity when encountering hard or abrasive barriers.

Each cartridge features a 165-grain bonded jacketed hollow-point bullet loaded in a nickel-plated brass case. Nickel plating provides excellent cartridge visibility while supporting smooth feeding and extraction. The cases are Boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable.

The RA40BA load produces a manufacturer-rated muzzle velocity of approximately 1,140 feet per second and 476 foot-pounds of muzzle energy when tested from a 4-inch barrel. Actual performance may vary depending on firearm, barrel length, temperature, and other shooting conditions.

This ammunition belongs to Winchester’s Ranger Law Enforcement product line and is intended for duty, defensive, and personal-protection applications. Shooters should test defensive ammunition in their specific firearm to confirm reliable feeding and proper function.
