What is your EDC caliber?

[Skip]

Where do you get your 158gr LWC at?
Or do you cast them yourself?
All I can find to buy is 148gr LWC.

This is the mold: 1944

A new gimmick to sell ammunition?
Handgun specific ammunition?

Obviously their new short barrel 9mm load.

Some guns are finicky with ammo.

Anything Range USA will not be the best price.

Check AE Ammo, on the south side of Indy.

Yeah, I’m not interested for me. I only run handloads in my weapons. I was wondering for others that were looking.

I really like XTP in high velocity handgun calibers.
I use them in my 44mag and 40 Cooper. They just preform well with 1100fps plus velocity. Anything less then 1100fps don't preform well in any caliber.

This round is excellent for 40 Cooper edc guns.

I like the 180gr and 200gr XTP better. They have several more inches of penetration.

I load a 180gr XTP over the maximum load from the old Lee Reloading manual. I achieve that velocity plus a little from the last batch I made up. This is one of the pistol calibers I carry to the field. I also have some Linebaugh 45 Colt loads I put in my Ruger Blackhawk. I send a 260gr LRNHP from that 7 1/2" barrel @ 1400fps too. (Really increased velocity from an 18” carbine for those loads too!) FWIW

Even though my favorite caliber was (tragically) not in the poll , I get excited when you guys talk about heavy, hard hitting bullets !
I like sending these when there's grizz on the horizon.

I had a Handi-Rifle in 500S&W. I don’t recommend heavy loads in them. Oh, they’ll take it just fine but, you, not so much! Lol

Churchmouse (R.I.P) took my 500S&W and ripped-off 5 shots in a row. He handed it back to me and said "never again" !

For bear I would not use XTP. It would definitely be 200gr hard cast. I had a load worked up using 800x (which is no longer being made ) that had an avg of 1256fps out of my Glock 20.
It was a WFNGC bullet.

I found the 180gr XTP video.
2 shots both avg 16" of penetration.
60-64 caliber expansion.

Somebody on the forum once accused me of "fabricating (lying) that my 45 Colt loads were reaching 1800fps.”

I told them at the time I used Linebaugh’s loads and a carbine to achieve them. I completely forgot what John Linebaugh’s shop claimed they got from a Ruger Bisley with a 7 1/2" barrel. These gotta be some wrist twisters! Hahahahaha
1750fps! 260gr bullet! Mercy!
