Got to do a lil innerweb research. But what do y’all like?
Penetration, weight retention and expansion are things I’m interested in.

HST and Gold Dot are good places to start.
Also, look to purchase in 50rd boxes as opposed to typical retail store 20-25rd box, the price often drops significantly from $1-1.50ish per round to around $.50'ish per round.

124 gr HST. Boom, problem solved. Whew, I'm tired....


Sig Sauer, to hell and back reliable.

Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.

Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?

I like heavier bullets if I’m carrying a 9mm. 147gr Ranger T, 147gr HST, and 147gr Winchester PDX1 are a few of my favorites. They’re not very user friendly in sub-compact pistols though....recoil is pretty snappy but results are devastating

Running this in your xds? I'm partial to 115 grainers the old-school federal 9bp the Winchester silvertip Hornady critical defense heck even Remington's plainjane jhp. Federals hst&hydrashok deserver a hard look to. Course AU338 would recommend a heavier grain bullet why I bet he varmint hunts with a 7x61 Sharpe&Hart.(reloader humor for you normal people he knows I'm not being offensive)

I kid-you-not I came real close to buying a rifle in that chambering once. Only one I'd ever seen but now for the life of me I can't remember what it was. May be a Sako?

In that case it probably doesn't matter cause you won't be able to hit nothing anyways. Lol. I was gonna buy one cause they come with everything if you catch the gear up specials they have. But after shooting my brothers I decided against it. Maybe it was just me though.

Sako would be correct. Fella in Florida used it on exotics and had a matching .222 that was a tackdriver. I think we ran Norma 205 and 145 speers.

7x61 Sharpe loaded with 120 grainers is bad medicine for yotes. 😀

HST,... But, bad guy on the receiving end probably won’t care what kind of premium round it is.

I have some Black Hills Honey Badger rounds, but haven't shot any yet. Everything I have read seems positive. In the compact guns, I am reading more recommendations for larger grain bullets like 147 and 150.
