    Range report to follow.

    Man you just need to load your own. It takes time but you’ll learn your load. Shooting something else will feel different. It’s best to get something that works and stay with it.

    Shoot mostly S&B subsonic FMJ 140 grain for IPSC. I am using a 10 lbs recoil spring. Good accuarcy and I feel that steel targets respond better.

    I shot Fenix ammo competition 147 grain. It shot nice and I did 2nd in my class.. Very small 40 person deal, so no big deal. Ill stick with this for a while. Im running a 12lb spring and felt recoil is very manageable. It was $220 for a thousand. They have much other more expensive stuff. Ill practice with cheaper stuff like Blazer or Magtech.

    Im not loading pistol ammo, not my thing. I know I should but just don't want it bad enough.

    Not always a pattern with brands.

    I've found the best thing to do is just try several types of loads and see what's best from that gun.

    As for 9mm fmj for SD, my main concern would be over penetration.

    Ultimately, if you want to level up, stick to the same load for practice and competition. You’ll learn the timing of your gun better.

    I have pretty much settled on Speer Lawman 124gr fmj for all my practice and match ammo, it's accurate and reliable for me. Shoots about the same as my 124gr HST carry ammo.
