After a lot of reading of on-line review sites, youtube video watching, and discussion board comparisons, I've 'standardized' on Speer Gold Dot 124gr +p short barrel ammunition for my everyday carry personal defense ammunition. From everything I can find, it's the highest-rated PD ammo out there. I've put a few rounds of it through my handgun, and it seems to perform well (i.e. it goes bang, and feeds well)
I'm trying to find something with equivalent ballistics for use as target ammunition, as the Gold Dots are over a buck per round. I want to do my target/practice shooting with something that has the same feel and (hopefully) accuracy out of my M&P9c.
The closest thing I can find (spec-wise) is Winchester USA (white box) 124 grain. Similar muzzle velocity, "energy" numbers, etc.
Problem is, nobody around here seems to sell it.
Is anyone aware of good quality 124 grain practice/target ammunition, available locally (I live in MetroWest)? Even Speer's own Lawman target ammo only comes in 115 grain, and isn't +P
Or am I completely over-thinking this, and should just use 115gr WWB target ammo, and not worry too much about the difference from the Speer Gold Dot?
