In all my guns the Hornady XTP has delivered as good or better accuracy than anything else I can find. $12 per hundred or so, and usually available everywhere loading components are offered for sale.

Zero JHP bullets also deliver good accuracy for me, 9mm is up over $60 per thousand last time I ordered and the prices just keep going up....

My best accuracy loads consist of 147gr. XTP's with Unique, WSF, or Universal Clays powders. 1/2" groups at 15 yards are typical from match pistols. Your XD should put them into an inch at that sistance.
