Winchester white box - Winchester USA Handgun 9mm Luger 115 Grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Brass Cased Centerfire Pistol Ammunition

The famed Winchester White Box: This is basic, reliable, brass cased boxer primed range ammo and U.S. manufactured. The only thing I can possibly say negative about it is that it might be dirtier compared to Federal 9x19. Many say Winchester ammo in general leaves behind a lot of firing residue and whether Winchester propellant is dirtier than the norm or not I cannot say but all smokeless powder cartridges are “dirty” to some extent so please clean accordingly. I state this obvious common sense because I think we have a growing trend of leaving firearms dirty. I think it has something or a lot to do with torture testing and I have seen more than one self-described "expert" say all you need is a wipe-down of the exterior and some say they never clean the barrel or action except once every 5,000 rounds. Be advised that the packaging is unusual—the box is long, narrow and about 2” x 2” x 6”. The cartridges are lying on their sides in neat rows of 25 rounds per layer, separated by thin cardboard. The top of the box is glued shut like a cereal box (tamper resistant) and opens the same way with a slot and tab arrangement for closure. Someone wrote a negative 2-star review just because of the box and said the cartridges are loose inside with no dividers but that is untrue. The box allows you to dump the rounds out quickly so you can load your magazines and there is no plastic rack to get in the way so the packaging is environmentally sound and biodegradable if you are into that. Since this is 115 gr FMJ, the lighter of the two standard bullet weights, your point of impact may change if you are used to the 124 gr projectile, plus the muzzle velocity will be higher than 124 gr 9x19 (lighter bullet, more speed).
