I think most folks that buy off the shelf for the range are using either Federal or WWB (Winchester White Box) these days. The Federal is cheaper, but I think the WWB is cleaner. The first time I shot a bunch of the Federal stuff I noticed a bunch of little black spots on my forearms from unburned powder. The gun was much dirtier than usual, although not as dirty when using some of that Blazer ammo.
As far as PP ammo I'm guessing that most using .45s are going for that big 230 grain bullet.

For self defense, I go with these
