Federal Premium LE Tactical HST - Looks Nasty

Looks like the old Black Talon ammo from the 90's

Today at the ATK Industry Day, SSD was privileged enough to witness a demonstration of Federal Premium LE’s new Tactical HST round in .45 Auto. When fired into ballistic gel, which is designed to simulate human flesh, the round penetrated a full 12 inches (the photo was taken off angle), expanding to a max diameter of .96 inches at its resting point. The round is a two piece projectile with a copper jacket that folds completely out of the way during penetration, while the round’s petals open to full expansion. The ammo is available in 9mm, .40, .45, and .357 SIG, however the SIG round is too fast, and as a result doesn’t fully open during penetration. More information can be found at http://www.le.atk.com.

Most decent hollow points will do this if shot into soft media...of course they won't look so nice if you shoot them through chipboard, glass, wallboard, outerwear material, bones, etc.

After the Black Tallon was discontinued the Ranger SXT was the exact same thing. However, my understanding is that Winchester has since redesigned the SXT and it's nowhere near as good as their other "LEO" ammo.

You're thinking of Ranger T, and it's still the same Black Talon without the Black. It's kind of difficult to find though, and it's always expensive as fuck.
