I've used it a lot in USPSA league and competition. It sells for $9.99/per 50 at area stores. Never a single malfunction in my G26 or Sig P239.
Tests around the net show good penetration and expansion. We've also conducted local hillbilly testing(milk jugs, junked car windshields, cocanuts, etc) with good results. I consider it my defensive 'fall-back' ammo when I get low on 147gr Rem Golden Saber.
I like the 147gr for defense. One's gotta get through some bone to get to the vitals.
Along with the ribs, the sternum forms the rib cage that protects the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels from damage.

I like it alot. A little more penetration than Ranger T 147. Not as pretty expansion, but expands nonetheless.

I like the fact that it's cheap enough to practice with.
Very reliable in my 26. NO problems.
