Without question the 230gr GS load:
Faster follow-up shots Less recoil Less blast Deeper penetration [the 230gr GS is my favorite self-defense .45 ACP cartridge] |

There certainly seems to be a consensus so far. I consulted Remington's online ballistics info and it suggests that the 230 grain bonded HP and 230 grain FMJ enoy nearly identical ballistics at close ranges. Has that been your practical experience? Once I try enough to make sure my pistols will cycle it I can obviously save a lot of money by practicing with FMJ if the two rounds behave similarly.

These guys didn't test your precise ammo choices, but their work might help you decide.
