The Winchester USA Ready 40 S&W 170gr Hex Vent Hollow Point delivers consistent terminal performance for law enforcement and civilian defense applications. This premium defensive ammunition features Winchester's innovative hex vent hollow point design that promotes reliable expansion while maintaining penetration depth.
What Makes This Different
The hex vent hollow point bullet design sets this ammunition apart from conventional hollow points through its engineered cavity geometry. Six precision-cut vents around the hollow point create controlled expansion that reduces over-penetration while maximizing energy transfer. Winchester's USA Ready line undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure consistent velocities and reliable feeding across multiple firearm platforms.
