Winchester PDX1 Defender Ammo
1/24/2012
Winchester Ammunition's PDX1 Defender line is one of the industry's most respected line of self-defense oriented ammo... and it's getting some new additions.
First and foremost is the Segmenting Slug (pictured) for 12-gauge shotguns. The PDX1 Defender slug segments into three pieces fired into certain barriers—combining the advantages of a slug and buckshot.
Also joining the PDX1 Defender ranks are two different rounds for centerfire rifles: the .223 Rem. cartridge and the .308 Win. cartridge. Each round deposits high levels of energy and expands without over-penetration.
The specs for each of the three new releases can be found here:
