Wincester Winlie Slugs Discontinued

Recommended Posts

Winchester has discontined my favorite 3 gun slug..the Winlite. Why I don't know since it seemed to be a good seller. Since it seems that all of their retailers are sold out, I'll need a good replacement. I see Winchester makes a Law Enforcement reduced recoil slug called "Ranger".

Has anybody had experience with these loads?

Comparable to Winlite?

Anybody know of anybody that still has Winlite in stock so I can hoard it?

I don't know winlite but I have shot a ton of Ranger (also sometimes labled as "tactical reduced recoil" It shoots ok, but in a reduced recoil round I have found that the Federal "Tru-Ball" flies the best in my guns.

One tip would be to call Police Supply stores in your area and find out who pushes Winchester in your area. Then ask them for the cell number for their Winchester rep/salesman. The Company rep (a good one would) will know what is closest to Winlite in ballistics.

Good Luck

Found these on Brownell's: http://www.brownells...OW-RECOIL-SLUGS Also found these on Auction Arms: http://www.gunauctio...itemnum=9676280

Those ones at Brownells.. they state 1450 FPS, but the box says 1700? Yikes!

Truegent.. time to move on man! I'll have some of the Fiocchis and Federal LEO at Last Chance if you make it this year

It is still listed on the web site and my distributor has it in stock. Where did you hear this?
