Federal hst's in 9, .40 and. 45. Standard pressure, full weight in each. 230 grain in .45. Works in every test I've seen, regardless of barrel length. Great street reputation also.

NickWinchester, HST’s and Golden Sabre. Like the federal load you are use to, I found the Golden Sabre works in everything, even 1911’s that usually only eat hardball.

dcowboyscrFederal HST and Speer Gold Dot are state of the art. Why mess with anything else?

Climb14erBeen using Gold Dot 230gr JHP's in my 1911 CCO for years and in my other 1911's. Might pick up some HST's to try. Also in my 9mm's, I carry Gold Dot 124+P JHP's as they are proven in SD scenarios.

jbourneidentityFederal 230-gr HST +P.
The gel & barrier performance, and expansion are just too good to ignore. Consistent 1-inch expansion? Amazing!

For ME:
