Has anyone tried this stuff out?
The experts at Winchester have combined top ballistic technology and performance with realistic training to give you the SXZ Personal Protection and Training System. This handgun ammo system combines high-performance hollow point personal protection rounds designed for maximum stopping power with specially matched training rounds engineered to match the ballistic performance, feel, and function for ultra effective and realistic practice and training. Both the training and personal protection tactical rounds feature Winchester's Lubalox® black oxide bullet coating to protect your gun's barrel from fouling and reduce the number of needed cleanings and keep the bullet's jacket like new. The specially designed SXZ training rounds feature a special truncated cone design that provides the same feeding, feel, accuracy, and recoil of the SXZ personal protection rounds.
Features:
- SXZ tactical ammo system - top ballistic technology and performance
- System combines powerful Personal Protection rounds with specially designed training rounds
- Training rounds match feeding, ballistic performance, accuracy, and recoil of the personal protection rounds
- System allows for more effective and realistic training
- Both rounds feature Winchester's Lubalox bullet coating
- Lubalox protects bullet and protects gun barrel shot after shot from fouling - fewer cleanings
- Personal Protection rounds feature hollow point design for maximum stopping power

Hmm... looking at the ad, I think they got their bullets confused - The one on the right is the hollow point.
I haven't used it. I am sure the hollow points work just fine, and the training ammo sounds expensive.

Thats an interesting idea, but I think I'll keep using my own reloads (yeah, I'm one of those guys). Hollowpoints are nice and all, but if I shoot somebody with 45 FMJ and it doesn't put him on his ass then I'm running.

I tried it. Nothing special. I later found out that this is just Winchester Silvertip that's been given a black finish and spiffy new ad campaign.
The price of JHP is pretty good, but the performance is still as iffy as the original Silvertip.
For practice, my reloads are cheaper and for carry my Golden Sabre works better.
Of course, that's just my ramblings. If you liked Silvertip performance, this is a good load for you.
