Browsing the ammo aisle the other day, and shaking my head, I've decided I'm only buying 50 round boxes of (reasonably priced) jhp from here on out.
It seems like these top of the line boutique ammo boxes keep getting smaller and smaller. Probably be selling one round at a time soon.
I'm of a mind that actually being able to practice with what you plan to use for self defense is more important than any perceived gains in the latest greatest wonder ammo.
When I first got into handguns, there were many options for 50 round boxes of jhp. Usually, a few bucks more than fmj or practice . Now it's pretty rare to find a 50 round box of jhp.
Funny thing is, these cheaper Remington or Winchester or federal loads of jhp actually seem to do pretty dang good in various tests (Remington 230 gr jhp in 45, Remington 115 gr jhp in 9mm etc).
Just one man's musings. We might see more options and better pricing if we push back on these little 20 round boxes.
