I always like critical duty. I can't recall ever reading anyone having feeding issues like some other brands. But your better off searching the topic with your actual gun.

Personally, I like 200gr JHP's for my 45acp SD loads. Good combination of weight and speed. The Hornady XTP and Speer GD in +P are my favorites. YMMV

Ranger T 230 is my departments ammo so that's all I use. Excellent performance through glass and vehicles as tested by me so take it for what it's worth.
Edit: should have said used to use as I have recently switched to 9mm. |

That's a deep penetrating round, I was surprised at the results and to see a uniformed nice expansion. Makes me wonder if they're using the XTP with a tad more oomph. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I've shot both the 230 HST and the 230 Ranger bonded through my HK45T. No issues. I stick with the HST only because my 1911 prefers the Rangers.

No, it was done by myself. I still have a few left. If you would like and can remind me in September, I will go test them again when I buy new sim-test blocks and get another member local to me to record it. Quote HistoryQuoted:
