The Winchester WB9ST147X delivers proven terminal performance with its 147-grain Silvertip hollow point design, engineered for reliable expansion and penetration in defensive applications. This subsonic loading provides reduced muzzle blast while maintaining effective stopping power across standard 9mm platforms.
What Makes This Different
Winchester's Silvertip technology features a distinctive aluminum cap that initiates controlled expansion upon impact, creating consistent wound channels compared to standard ball ammunition. The 147-grain projectile operates at subsonic velocities, reducing noise signature while delivering approximately 950 fps muzzle velocity from a 4-inch barrel. This load balances penetration depth with expansion reliability across varying barrier materials.
Key Features
- 147-grain Silvertip hollow point bullet with aluminum expansion cap
- Subsonic velocity reduces muzzle blast and noise signature
- Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for consistent performance
- 100-round bulk packaging reduces per-round cost
- Compatible with all standard 9mm Luger chambered firearms
- Non-corrosive primer and powder formulation
This ammunition performs reliably in both full-size service pistols and compact carry guns, with the heavier bullet weight providing stable flight characteristics. The subsonic velocity makes it suitable for suppressed applications where noise reduction is prioritized. Law enforcement agencies have utilized Silvertip ammunition for decades, demonstrating its field-proven reliability in critical situations.
