Any of you use XTP or Hard Cast for your wood ammo?

I use 9mm Winchester Defend 147gr. For both road and woods. I chose that due to ease of availability. Performed well on Shooting the Bull's gel test. I would have went with the popular HST's, but damn hard to find when I started using primarily the 9mm as CCW.

I just bought 1000 rounds of 147 grain HSTs, so I guess that for a while.

230 gr JHPs @ 800+ fps.  My 9sillymeter carry load is whatever cheap crap I can find to run thru my range toy, which is what all sensible people agree is the most that 9mm can ever hope to be.

Right now 147gr Golden Saber Bonded.  Before those Ranger 127 gr +p+  after the gs I have some 147gr HST.

I'm not too fussy on what ammo I'm carrying. Reliable and accurate are my two qualifiers.  I'd rather have over penetration than under.

If I'm in the woods around here I don't change anything.  Nothing here a 9 won't work for.  


Phil Shoemaker stopped a brown bear last summer with a 9 and 147gr hard cast from Buffalo Bore.

Cor-Bon DPX 115gr.

I live in the woods.


Around here, like most places, the two legged predators are the worst to be concerned with.

The odd angry critter is honest,and doesn't take too much convincing that ya want to be left alone.

SD 147gr HST

If I'm carrying a pistol for defense in the woods I'll add 1mm to the diameter.

You do realize that it isn't good enough for grunts, it is just what they're forced to use.

When I'm carrying 9mm it's always 147 grain HST.

This right here.

Since my 9mm carry load is the best possible why would a 9mm "woods" load be different?  If you're in bear territory buy a bigger gun.
