07 SHOOTING

A Ballistically-Matched Ammunition System Few decisions are as important as selecting your personal defense ammunition. Winchester W Train & Defend® simplifies the process, featuring ballistically- matched practice and personal-protection loads that also offer less perceived recoil for better accuracy.

LEAD-FREE PRIMER Range-friendly lead-free primers reduce airborne particulate for less exposure to lead.

NICKEL-PLATED SHELLCASE Easily identifiable from the brass-cased Train rounds, Defend rounds use nickel-plated shellcasings, which tarnish less.

FULL METAL JACKET The standard among practice rounds, full metal jacket bullets cost less but are ballistically matched to Winchester’s Defend loads.

HOLLOW-POINT BULLET The hollow-point bullet expands into six segments upon impact increasing the projectile more than 1.65 to 1.75 times its normal diameter.
