20rds – 9mm Winchester Silvertip 147gr. JHP Ammo Details

Winchester’s Silvertip label ammunition has remained on the market for a very long time. Now more affordable than ever in boxes of 20 instead of 50, it’s a great solution if you’ve just gotten a 9mm handgun and need something serious to load in its magazine.

This 9mm round is furnished with a heavy 147 grain JHP bullet. At that weight it delivers a subsonic 1,010 fps muzzle velocity, great if you want a softer report or have equipped a suppressor. The Silvertip’s jacket is finished with nickel, which enhances its lubricity for more reliable feeding in a semi-automatic firearm. Its nose cavity enables the Silvertip bullet to mushroom outward and create a gaping wound channel during penetration, and its jacket’s precise notches keep that expansion all the more uniform and reliable.

This round’s brass case is precision engineered to chamber securely. It also ought to extract reliably, even if you’ve already reloaded it a few times. Winchester’s primer is formulated to prevent disastrous rusting, and their propellant burns up fast and clean.
