Speer Gold Dots Or Fed JHP

I use PMC Starfire HP's. The serrations would seem to aid in expansion. Although never have shot anything except paper, I don't have any proof it's any better than the other brands.

So does anyone know where the best place is online to buy the Speer Golddot with the best prices?

I'm a newbie to this whole 357 SIG stuff.... :)

check cheaper than dirt, they carry a lot of ammo.

Can't beat $15/box of 50

They have great prices on Speer Lawman for practice too.

The DoubleTap Ammo 125 grain and 147 grain varieties are, without a doubt, the best performing and best valued cartridges on the market ($25.95 per 50 rds.) They are also extremely accurate.

Out of a standard G31 with a 4.5" bbl, you can expect a 125 grainer to crank out at 1525 fps for a muzzle energy of 645 ft./lbs. Not too shabby! Try getting that muzzle energy out of a .40!

Personally, I'm a 10mm man myself since it offers speed AND bullet weight, but I think the .357 SIG is nothing to sneeze at. I also enjoy shooting the .357 SIG much more than .40 S&W. It just feels much better to me.

Photocop, you can get that kind of muzzle energy out of a .40!

Well some adventurous handloaders might be able to, but I have yet to see any commerically available ammunition capable of those numbers. If you know of some manufacturer that produces .40 S&W with that kind of snap, let me know 'cause I'll buy some.

Cheers!

Well, you can get this .40 load from DT

The 135gr Nosler JHP @ 1420fps 605 ft/lbs from a 4.5"bbl.

The nice thing about a .40 is you CAN also go heavy if you want a deeper penetrating round for the Woods...

The 200gr Controlled Exp. JHP @ 1100fps 538 ft/lbs from a 4.5"bbl.

Me personally.... I think shooting the .40 is like kissing your sister... http://www.crochetville.org/forum/images/smilies/slingshot.gif

Our duty round is 125gr. Speer Gold Dots and based on what I've read, I trust 'em completely.

[GroovedG19]

Don't know about best, but both of my .357sig pistols(P229 & P226)are loaded with Winchester Ranger T 125gr.I like 'em.:supergrin: :thumbsup:

[TreeTrooper]

I'm issued 125gr Ranger T. My 31 and 33 are both loaded with it, on duty and off.

[joro]

Thanks to all for the input.

[MCNETT]

For all-around carry my favorite is the DoubleTap 125gr. GDHP.
