Winchester Super-x Silvertip 155gr.
Federal 135 grain Hydra-Shok. (PD40HS4H)
Why the "light" 135 grain? Basically I'm guessing that the higher velocity and lower weight would mean less chance of over penetration. I've never had the chance to test that theory.
I put a box of it downrange just to test feeding, etc. and it is VERY accurate stuff.
supposedly it has good penetration and expansion....and the stuff moves fast...but has very light recoil. i actually didnt realize the stuff i bought was the 135gr low recoil until the car ride home...but looked it up online and there was very positive articles on it
Here is a very imformative article that addresses personal protection ammo by caliber size. - Michael

I don't carry a .40 or a 9mm, but was curious as to whether or not folks have tried the Winchester Supreme Elite PDX. We carry 165gr and 180gr offerings in .40 S&W and 124gr in 9mm.
I can't really offer customers good advice on it, as I don't use PD 9mm or .40. Any thoughts?
