If you're interested in the listed ballistic & terminal effectiveness of the Ranger "T" loads:

9mm 127gr +P+
bare gelatin - 12.3"/.64 exp/93% retained wt @ 118gr
4 layers denim - 12.5"/.68 exp/97% ret wt @ 123gr

9mm 147gr
bare gelatin - 13.9"/.65 exp/96% ret wt @ 141gr
4 layers denim - 14.5"/.66 exp/98% ret wt @ 144gr

.357SIG 125gr
bare gelatin - 10.9"/.63 exp/81% ret wt @ 101gr
4 layers denim - 12.1"/.66 exp/100% ret wt @ 125

.40 S&W 165gr
bare gelatin - 12.7"/.61 exp/87% ret wt @ 144gr
4 layers denim - 13.2"/.70 exp/95% ret wt @ 152gr

.40 S&W 180gr

Velocities for the .45 loads are from a 5 inch barrel only:

RA45T 230gr 885fps/muzzle; 881/5yds; 867/25 yds
RA45TP 230gr +P 990fps/muzzle; 985/5yds; 965/25yds

S45 230gr SXT 880fps/muzzle; 877/5yds; 863/25yds

Don't know how the shorter barrels do yet. I'll have some velocities from a 4 1/4" Commander and a 3 1/4" S&W CS45 sometime soon, though, for different rounds including the standard pressure "T" load ... I'm not sure the velocities are that important, considering the "T" loads have been redesigned to perform when used in short barreled weapons. I'll post the gelatin data when I get it ...
 
Gunbroker nearly always has it, gunshows often do. Support your local sheriff if all else fails :)

Seriously last time I bought Ranger "T" 147 9mm loads off of Gunbroker for less than my local store sells Winchester Silvertips for.
 
9mm 127gr +P+
bare gelatin - 12.3"/.64 exp/93% retained wt @ 118gr
4 layers denim - 12.5"/.68 exp/97% ret wt @ 123gr

9mm 147gr
bare gelatin - 13.9"/.65 exp/96% ret wt @ 141gr
4 layers denim - 14.5"/.66 exp/98% ret wt @ 144gr

This is an excellent example of why I carry 147 grain 9mm loads.:cool: As an added bonus the 147 grain loads are easier to shoot quickly and don't harsh the gun like +P+ loads will.
