The most-shot centerfire caliber in America gets the deepest shelf in our ammo room. Range FMJ in 115 and 124 grain keeps practice affordable; defensive hollow points from Federal HST, Hornady Critical Defense and Speer Gold Dot cover carry loads across 124 and 147 grain weights.
Buy the range ammo in bulk and the carry ammo by the box - then actually shoot a box of your carry load through your pistol to verify feeding and point of impact. NJ buyers, bring your FID card for handgun ammunition purchases.
