Winchester is offering shooters another option for high-volume training ammunition that is even more affordable than the company’s well known “white box” loads. USA Forged is Winchester’s new steel-cased cartridge line, and the inaugural load will a 9 mm Luger cartridge that features a 115-gr. bullet. Steel case ammo is panned by some since it is often associated with low-quality foreign production, using bullets that contain steel or other hard metals. Winchester’s USA Forged is made from quality components, in the United States, and uses a traditional brass-jacketed, lead-core bullet.
