I know this has probably been discussed ad nauseum but I was wondering what our esteemed community thinks about the latest/greatest self-defense loads in .45 ACP? Eventually, I intend to start loading my own but, my question is more about bullet weight, 185gr vs. 165gr, etc.
My choice in the past was Remington's 185gr +P but, on paper, Federal's 165gr Hyda-Shok looks darn good. I like the idea of low recoil and 1000+ fps. The Remington load, by comparison, is pretty hot but, no doubt, would get the job done in most situations. I just wondered what others are using?
