What is your carry ammo and range ammo and why?

I have to ask since I'm a new gun owner. I know I don't want to use range ammo for personal protection or waste good ammo at the range. Looking forward to some good feedback on brands and the why's and why not's. All opinions welcome.

I'm currently considering switching over to Winchester Ranger Talons or Federal HST.

I'm currently carrying Golden Sabers and just think it is time for a change. I've been comparing tests and reviews between the three and Sabers seem to be coming in third between them all. Pricing with the Rangers and HSTs are pretty good as well. Around $20 for a box of 50.

I may have to start considering loading my own range ammo. The 100 pack of range/target 9mm at Walmart has gone up $3 in the last week. (WWB) :rolleyesedit:
