SXZ Training round,
March 7, 2010
By JayMan035
from OK
Advantages: Performs well, Value for money, Quality
"i purchased a couple of boxes of the training rounds and found they performed better than other Winchester rounds i have used. i shot them through my 9mm S&W sigma. they are a cleaner bullet than most on the market, and are more accurate than alot of the FMJ rounds i have paid more $$ for. i am yet to get my hands on the protection rounds, and im sure i wont be disappointed. all up a good accurate bullet, with little mess. i have no problem putting 100 of these down the range."

Great Range Ammo,
February 6, 2010
By wldmn12
from Atlanta, GA
Advantages: Performs well, Value for money, Quality
"I have purchased and fired the training versions of this amo in both 9mm and 45 auto configurations. I primarily used the ammo for indoor range and outdoor shooting at my hunting cabin. Works flawlessly, no jamb, foul ups or anything, feels like the real thing at a fraction of the cost. I especially like the shape of the bullet, it makes a very clean and crisp hole easily scored and marked on a target. Typically the 45auto bullets are so large they tend to "tear" rather than "pierce" the target, but this ammo with the flat nose and tapered edges seems to "pierce" just like a 9mm bullet does. Much much cheaper than range ammo and no worries about reloads. VERY VERY HARD TO FIND IN STOCK, I had to time my visit just right at the stores near me to be there the morning the "ammo cart" was being loaded onto the shelves because all the boxes were gone within 5 minutes of being put on the shelf.
I would use it as a backup if I ran out of my Black Talons I have loaded as primary home defense/knockdown ammo in both guns each of their 2 backup magazines, the Talons work great for home defense and I treat them like gold."

Excellent ammo for the price!,
January 20, 2010
By hollowpoint
from Fresno, CA
Advantages: Performs well, Quality, Value for money
"I've shot about 400 rounds of this in 9mm with my Ruger SR9 without any issues. 200 rounds of the training & 200 rounds of the personal protection. It burns clean, gives nice groups at 7 & 15 yards & has a very nice price tag! I compare this to the winchester white box target ammo as far as feeding goes. I really couldn't find anything wrong with this ammo. I was reluctant to purchase at first because of the low price but I am very pleased with this purchase and I recommend this ammo to anyone looking to purchase some good target ammo & low price hollow points."

Good 9mm for a Good price!,
November 7, 2009
By beemaze
from Orange County, CA
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money
"Shot the 9mm SXZ training ammo through a SIG P226, Argentine Hi-Power, and Steyr pistol without any problems whatsoever. Reasonably accurate and supposedly has a coating which reduces wear on your barrel compared to regular FMJ ammo - a claim which I cannot substantiate, but if it's an accurate claim then that's a good thing! The other nice thing about this ammo is that it is actually available unlike the Bulk UMC 9mm ammo. 9mm ammo is becoming harder to get simply because of the economics behind it. .40S&W and .45ACP are way more expensive and 9mm gives you the same amount of bang for less!!! Increased demand, less supply in an economic recession where every dollar counts."

Winchester SXZ - Good Performer!,
October 30, 2009
By OldGyrene
Advantages: Performs well, Quality, Value for money
"Fired my first box of SXZ9 today and was very pleased. Groups were as good or better than the "White Box" and fed perfectly every time in my Glock 19 (but then I have never had an FTF or any other issue with the G19). No issues with cleaning either. Paid $12.99/50 rounds, slightly higher than WWB but much more readily available at this time. Good product."

Different experience than others,
May 15, 2009
By RickJ
from St Louis MO
Disadvantages: Performance
"I tried this 9mm ammo, both the training rounds and the protection rounds, in a Taurus PT-92, a Taurus PT-609Ti, and a Beretta 92FS, and it jammed in both of the Taurus weapons in less than 10 rounds and in the second magazine with the Beretta. All three weapons are well maintained and have not had difficulties with other ammunition. My experience with this ammo is much different than the other reviewers here. The rounds that DID feed held a reasonable group."

Advantages: Durability, Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money
"I have used this in my beretta px4 storm and pretty good results. groups a little low but might be the shooter.. the best I could do was 1 inch groups at 25 yards ammo is very smooth when chambering. pretty good round for the buck. would use again because it makes a great target round. I was shooting hollow point 180 grain 40S&W rounds"

Great ammo for the price,
March 8, 2009
By Surfaugy
from Oklahoma
"This ammo shot very good groups and had no problems of any kind. My XD 40 cycled this ammo well and it burned pretty clean. You will get some of the lubalox coating on your fingers from loading but that is the nature of the coating, it does the same thing for my rifle ammo if I handle the bullet part of the cartridge."

great ammo,
January 11, 2009
By smoothwaterseeker
from Missouri
"I had ben shooting Winchester Target 9mm ammo becuase of the price. I saw the display at BassPro (only place you can get it) and decided to try it.
With the other ammo in my 9mm Taurus 24/7 I had to aim an inch or two high to allow for the drop. with this ammo it dead on straight at 7 yards. at 15 yards it drop about an inch which is great compared to 4" with target ammo.
I'm going to buy more and compare it to the personal protection version."

Powder residue,
January 1, 2009
By Oneeach
from Maryland
"I bought two boxes of the .45 calibur FMJ. Shot cluster was good and the feeding through my Springfield Armory M1911A1 was perfect. The only down side was the amount of residual powder on my hands. Significantly more than the Remmington, Federal, Glazer, or Hornady rounds."

By celtlord
from Ft Myers, Fl
"Purchased these and fired em through my Beretta 92. They are fantastic. For an experiment I loaded both training and personal protection rounds in the same mag and never noticed the difference. The price and the performance make these great rounds for practice or defense. Besides...they are made by Winchester."
