"speer lawman was on sale, and might still be at sportsmans guide "

Thanks, I didn't say so, but I was speaking of seeing it locally. It used to be everywhere.

"RWS"

Absolutely, and from the same corporation - RUAG Ammotec of Switzerland - that makes GECO, Norma, Hirtenberger, Nobel, etc.

I like 124GR.

RWS-Geco-(best in every way,at least to me)
Federal-(Any)
WWB

Russian-(not in my guns)

My personal favorite is 124gr GECO.

Yep - the Geco stuff is great, but I never see it locally any more.

Best bang for the buck?

1. My reloads.
2. Wolf.

Yes Wolf. It’s good enough to give me Master Classification scores in Combat Pistol competition in my 92FS.

@Johnbt, ahh the sale at SG was the first I had ever seen it online or locally. It does get great reviews though, if I didn't already have a bunch of ammo coming I'd be real tempted to try it out.
