I want to maintain an inventory of FMJ target loads to use at the range which would also serve as emergency back up defense rounds. Not that its a terribly likely situation but since I like to keep a stash of target loads they may as well function as a backup supply.
Obviously FMJ has plenty of drawbacks as a defensive round, although there is something to be said for 4 legged problems. Anyways, I was looking through the data at Ballistics101.com and it looks like the Speer TMJ is some of the "hotter" 180gr 40's, plus its been my experience that they are pretty reliable quality... and easy to clean up after! Any other suggestions? I was suprised by the numbers on Blazers, but would like to stick with higher end loads if possible.
