Self Defense / Carry Ammo

[Dave Waits]

I settled on Winchester 230grain Premium SXT JHPs. Basically, they're a different-colored Black Talon. Since Black Talons are Collector's level cartridges(Last I checked they were going for about $65.00 a box), the SXTs are the next best thing.

As for reloading, I've tried so far; Hornady Crit.Def. bullets, Hornady XTPs, Gold Dots and some Federal bullet. All failed one way or another. None of the mentioned bullets gave decent,consistant performance, even when driven at 900+FPS.
