Hey guys, I am taking a class from Ken Hackathorn later this year.
I have a silly question of what ammo to bring. I am dipping into my ammo stash for the class. All I have stashed is my reloads, I have two handloads to choose from.
One is a 55gr Hornady soft point with cannelure loaded with H335
The other is a SS109 load with the same powder.
I don’t know the velocity of either. the 55gr Hornadys are loaded to whatever weight was most accurate with H335 (load written down in the ammo can, but the ammo is in storage) And the SS109s are loaded with 25.5grs H335 IIRC.
Both are 100% reliable in my rifle.
I don’t have enough of either load, so I will bring some 69gr SMK handloads if I can find some primers.
This is my long ass way of asking which load should I blow through, I want to keep the load with the best terminal performance in reserve.
Also; I wont ever carry my handloads on duty (even if they would let us have rifles)
I am just a knuckle dragging grunt that is debating a theoretical question.
