my general recommendation is that a person only buy premium ($1) bullets. Twenty pack. Dedicated carry ammo. this is the stuff that receives the most attention. Best powder, best bullet design, nickle low corrosion casings, usually loaded on the newer, more reliable machinery instead of the WWII era stuff. There's no reason to buy green box 50 round HP rounds for actual carry use. It's not as good. That simple. Better loads are going to have better results, maybe not at every criteria, but most of them.

person still needs to test those rounds.
