Winchester USA Forged 9mm Luger ammunition delivers consistent performance with 115-grain full metal jacket bullets engineered for reliable feeding and extraction. This steel-cased ammunition provides shooters with an economical training solution that maintains Winchester's quality standards while reducing per-round costs.
What Makes This Different
The USA Forged line utilizes steel cases with brass-plated primers and Winchester's proven powder formulations to create ammunition that cycles reliably in most 9mm firearms. Unlike standard brass-cased rounds, the steel construction reduces material costs while maintaining consistent chamber pressures and velocities. Independent testing shows comparable accuracy to brass-cased alternatives at training distances.

Range performance demonstrates consistent groupings suitable for training applications, with reliable cycling in both striker-fired and hammer-fired pistols. The steel cases extract cleanly from most firearms, though some pistols with tight chamber tolerances may require break-in periods. Competition shooters appreciate the cost savings for high-volume practice sessions, while the consistent point of impact makes it suitable for basic marksmanship training.
