Winchester’s PDX1 hollow point ammo became the official loadfor FBI and Border Patrol agents in 2011. This bonded-core round is designed tooffer superb six-petal expansion while effectively penetrating various types oflight cover such as heavy clothing and sheet metal. PDX1 bullets use areverse-tapered bullet to achieve stronger penetration. Noting instances ofcore-jacket separation on contact with brittle but hard surfaces such as glass,Winchester designed a proprietary bonding mechanism that welds the copperjacket to the lead core and imbues the round with greater reliability.
