No doubt, we need to go have a beer and compare notes. My wife loves to get me out of the house...... maybe go shoot my P226 . :)JLaw wrote:Mithras61,

Re: What ammo load do you carry, and why?
Well, you already have plenty of opinions.... but I'd like to welcome you to the forums. Good to see another local in here.Mithras61 wrote:I'm trying to decide what type of rounds to carry. I grew up shooting, buut never worried too much about what rounds, because FMJ seemed like the best all-around choice. I haven't done much shooting in the last 20 years, though, and the choices of load seem to have multiplied. I chatted with my father, and he carries FMJ because of where he lives (northern WI) and he wants to be able to hit the BG even if BG ducks behind a wall or around the corner. He lives a good 30 minutes from police assistance on the good days, so he feels the burden more than some folks, he says. He learned to shoot in USMC back in the 50s, and I wonder if that colors his feelings on the subject, so I ask:
What loads do you carry, and why? The options seem to be FMJ, JHP, safety slugs, Hydrashok, Golden sabres, and more, so I find myself wondering where to even start looking for good and reliable info.
