I was looking at the Speer web site, browsing through the Gold Dot loads in .45 ACP and noticed that the 185gr load had a little more energy at the muzzle and at 50yds but a little less out at 100yds.
I've also noticed that Hornady only offers 185gr in their Critical Defense line and it acts similar to the 185gr loading from Speer.
My questions are what are the principal differences in how they would they perform in a defense situation, and which would you choose and why?
