40 S&W Black Talon differences

[BurkGlocker]

I've had a few boxes of Black Talons left over for awhile and I noticed that one box has different primers and primer sealant, brass instead of nickel plated.


Left to right: Normal looking Black Talon, Black Talon in question, Ranger SXT LEO, 165 grain Ranger T-Series, 180 grain Ranger T-Series, and 180 grain Winchester PDX1.

I threw some other Black Talon derivatives into the mix as well just as eye candy, but the first two are the comparison pieces.

Thanks,

Just different production runs.

And, as I'm sure you know...
The Ranger SXTs are the same bullet without the Lubalox treatment (it's not a coating, as most people refer to it, but a surface treatment).

I've shot many rounds of Black Talon and these are the first I've seen them with brass primers and red sealant.

I'd ask Winchester

Since they renamed Black Talon to Ranger, aren't your cartridges collectors' items?
