“Though Winchester pulled the Black Talon off the shelves in 1993, its design lived on in the SXT. This was further improved with the Ranger T-Series introduced in 2007. I compare the designs and use my Glock G23 to put them to the test in ballistics gel.”

Moral of the story is: if you have a few boxes of Black Talons that you’re hanging on to for, uh, blackish, talon-y reasons, you can probably sell it now during the Great Ammo Drought of 2013 and pick up some newer, better ammo for less.
