[Mannlicher]

My semi autos all use Federal HydraShock. in .45, I like the 230 grain, in 9mm, the 124, and in .40, the 180grain.
I load my own for my revolvers. In .38 and .357, I load a Speer 146 grain, in .45 Colt I use the Hornady 250 grain XTP, and for .44 Mag, I use Hornady's 240 grain XTP/HP
When I finally get the Dillon Square Deal press set up, I will be loading my own again for .45 Auto.

[hotpig]

Winchester Ranger or Federal Tac bonded depending on what I have a bunch of in stock.

 

[Jeff Timm]

.38 Special Winchester Silver Tip 110 gr bullets.

It's the only NON-+P defense ammo I can get for my old Model 38 Bodyguard.

Geoff
Who used to use 125 gr Nyclads but they are NA. Sigh..

 

[thumper723]

Remington UMC 230gr JHP in my SA 1911 Double-Stack.

I have tried speer, but I get 1-2 FTF's per mag. Not acceptable for defense to me.

With the UMC, I have had 0 FTF/FTE in 400 rounds. Probably not the most effective, but feeds as well as ball, and should expand better.

 

[distra]

Hornady .45 ACP 230gr XTP standard or +P in my 1911 and XD45. S&W .40 180gr XTP in my M&P. Hornady's have fired 100% reliable through my firearms. Only thing is they are not cheap to shoot during the reliability tests.

 

[velosa]

60 gr. gold dots in my 32 Seecamp. Come rain, come shine, you'll find it in my back pocket.

 

[zzzarkt]

Federal HST 230gr. +P in my XD-45. Average 950 fps out of a 4" barrel is not too shabby. Wicked expansion too.

165 gr. Federal HST in my wife's XD-40 subcompact. No malfunctions in either gun.
