dikroundtree,

Different agencies use different loads. The point is that if you get into a defensive shooting and you are using the same load that your local police use, IF a prosecutor tries to paint you as a killer who chose "bullets intended to kill" or some such nonsense, your attorney can put the chief LEO on the witness stand to explain why that agency chose that load.

It was one bit of advice from Mas Ayoob that I really liked, as it turns several "anti-gun" arguments on their heads all at once.
