NMWPerk, I believe the answer to whether "Target" ammo is good enough depends on what one is using for shooting targets. A FMJ .357 is going to be more likely to overpenetrate in a SD situation than a JHP in the same caliber.
You are dealing with two seperate objectives. On the range, you can use whatever you want, those targets won't know the difference. Using a 300 grn. solid .44 Mag would be a good choice for hogs. For SD dealing with humans, not so much. Home made reloads for CCW is another can of worms.
Expense comes into it for many of us. I tote a .44 with Silvertips. I can't afford to use this ammo for range practice, so will be setting up for reloading a lead round with comparable recoil/ballistics.
Hope this was helpful.
