You're not, but it doesn't make you any less of a godless heathen.
230 Grain, or get back in the kitchen and make me some supper, bitch! ; ]
I use whatever is in the cheap ammo at Walmart.
I shoot bullseye, so I shoot 185-grain SWC all the time in my .45. (I load all of it myself.)
What weerd and alan said.
The cheap stuff at WalMart is *ALWAYS* 230 grain...
I played with the lighter grain stuff for SD but wasn't overly impressed. I went back to 230 pretty quick and did 100 Hail JMBs as penance.
The cheap stuff is all 230 grain so that's mostly what I shoot. I like the idea of 185 grain JHPs, but I just can't find them anymore. Maybe it's because they're the solution to the hollowpoint expansion problem for the last generation of JHPs.
I use 230 grain JHP for SD and FMJ for practice. I am hoping for 280 grain coming soon so I can use really slow really heavy caliber .45. ;-)
Mike just likes the breeze that blows up his skirt from the extra FPS from the lighter boolits...
I prefer to stay as close as possible to the middle of the design envelope when choosing bullet weights for semiautos. My 1911 is set up for 230gr, I practice with 230gr, I'll keep using 230gr.
With 9x19mm, 115 or 124 grains -- I prefer 124.
I realize with modern gun manufacturing, as long as you don;t get way far out of the envelope, the pontential reliability difference is minimal at best. . . but it provides me cheap peace of mind which is worth it all by itself.
I too carry 185 grain Critical Defense Ammo everyday. Lighter round, better ballistics, and from a legal standpoint even my ammo says it is defensive. If it helps I did try to convince my wife to move to Utah and by JMB's mansion, it didn't work.
