Winchester Black Talon

[PaGreg]

I have a box of 20 Winchester Black Talon in 300 Win Mag. Showed them to someone who says they are illegal. Any info to the contrary would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Greg

Showed them to someone who says they are illegal.

Discontinued and re-introduced as Ranger SXT. Was only available for law enforcement. They are NOT illegal.

Mar 14, 2023 — Buying, possessing and using Black Talon ammunition is not illegal (unless your state/locale has criminalized hollow point ammunition).

I believe the rifle version was fail-safe. Still have box of 30cals I bought to load in 30-06

Gun guys make fishermen look like truth-tellers.

Total fallacy, perfectly legal. Also, nothing really special about them that would even imply any illegality.

As others have said, Black Talon ammo is not illegal. It was a public relations and marketing debacle for Winchester, though. Shades of the old "cop killer" bullets of yore. Winchester retreated.
