I love revolvers and Ruger revolvers especially and especially the Ruger GP100 4" stainless .357 Magnum, of which I own two. The best round for HD is the round you can consistently shoot the most accurately with. You. The GP will handle the softest little .38 Specials all the way up to monster loads like Buffalo Bore 180gr. Shoot different ammos and see which you can:
-Group most accurately and consistently with at varying HD distances.
-Shoot quickly, well. A second shot may be vital and with recoil beyond your ability to control and roll with it, may not be possible.
-Afford to practice with. No sense is using a high priced ammo for HD if you can't afford to practice with it, in your HD gun, often.
Good luck, good shooting, be safe!
