Imagination and focus become reality |
In a couple of my 45s I currently am using Federal Hydra-Shok Deep 210gr. It's supposed to be good stuff. Otherwise I still use the Federal HST 230 gr. | |||

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
Gold Dot 124+P or Federal. Lots of testing and real world data out there and I've run them through the guns I own with zero issues. Too many other variables to predict exactly how it would function in the incredibly unlikely event you needed it. Remember, 380 hard nose kills a lot of people. There were lots of threads when I started carrying (early 2000's) about penetration, expansion and other issues and there seem to be fewer nowadays since the science behind them has improved. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Speed kills. Give me the fast 115 grain in 9mm all day long, rather than the slower 147. .357 Sig in 125 is the ideal round. The numbers don't lie | |||

In my EDC it’s SPeer Gold Dot 9mm 124. That’s what I carried as a cop. I know it works. Every other gun is just to play with and I tend to stick with what the sights are regulated for. my S&W mod60 has fixed sights and is regulated to 158grain ammo. So I reload to that spec. I do use it to shoot 148 wad cutters. Same with my S&W Victory Model my grandfather gave me. My 1911 - 230 ball My 2011 USPSA gun is in 40 and I shoot 180s to get the major power factor. Rifles is a whole different animal. When I hunted I chose the bullet construction over weight-I can adjust the scope. For my M4gery, I use M193 55grain FMJ. Cause I have a boatload of it. But it’s just a gun to play with now. (My department issued Remington 55grain PSP ammo and we had to use it until they ran thru it and went to Speer GD 62 grain.)
