    Whatever major brand hollow point defensive load I can find. I've looked at a lot of tests, read a lot, seen a lot of pictures. I test fired the Glasers into phone books and simulated walls years ago. I finally decided that I couldn't say that one load was statistically better than any other.
    That being said, I won't carry any load that I haven't fired at least a box of through my carry gun without a jam.

    As far as target shooting ammo for pistols whatever is cheaper at walmart or academy or the local gun show or the range. I don't shoot enough to worry about a dollar difference in price... Rifle ammo is different though.

    Do you buy ammo online? If you do. What site do you use? I've always hated buying online unless I know I won't get ripped off. Fucken Ebay. I try not to buy things from online shops unless I know someone who has bought from them before.

    I carry the Winchester Ranger 9mm +p+ (RA9TP) and Federal Hydrashok .380.

    For target shooting it's whatever the cheapest FMJ round they have. Lately that's been Monarch blue box from Academy.

    Winchester Ranger 230gr SXT (RA45T) as a defense (read as lawyer) load, other than rimfire I reload everything else. I load 9mm, 38/357mag, .45Colt, .45ACP, 7.62x39, .303Brit, .30-06, 3 different .308's and .30 IHMSA. Most of my firearms have never fired factory ammo.

    For self defense I use black talons or hydrashoks. For bs ammo I use monarch, wolf or whatever is the cheapest fmj I can find.
