Some "range"ammo like Cowboy Action rounds are designed for specific sports and probably aren't optimal for self defense.Other ammo for the range like 10mm Blazer or 45ACP 230 gr FMJ will do some real damage and you can carry it.9mm FMJ is one I would only use on the range.Of course more specifics on the defensive use circumstances might determine the choice.
