If you talk to 10 people about ammo, chances are very good that you will get 10 differing views and opinions.

No different than if you ask 10 people about guns. For self defense, try not to get all wound up over velocities, grains and ballistics. Even the weight of the bullet is subjective at best.

No one bullet is going to be so much more superior than another, that it will make all the difference in the world. If that were true, we'd all being buying the same brand / model of round.

What I will say, is to stick to a major-brand manufacturer and go from there. I would never use re-loads for self-defense, be it a private or commercial supplier.
