Mine likes 150's and UMC 120's. What is your intended target?

Not sure how much help I am. Mine is an Anderson Manufacturing 1:7, 16". It definitely performs better than minute of torso.

For defense the benchmark is the Barnes 110gr black tip. Basically you want something light (<=120gr) that is designed for 300BLK.

There are a few others I'd consider like the Lehigh 78gr and there is now an 80-something grain Gorilla.

For practice I prefer the UMC as it is reliable and similar in weight to my defensive choice. Barnes now has a practice round called "Range" if I recall correctly.
