How do you decide on your carry ammo?

[Adam Helmer]

Mr. 16 gauge,

Thanks for your investigation and sharing the results and photos with us. Most of us just load up and go about our business. Did you test any FMJ ammo?

I understand even .45 ACP 230 grain Ball is not really very effective. It follows, the 9mm Ball is even less effective, as I hear from returning Iraq veterans. I use Silvertips in my 9mm semi-autos and Federal JHPs in the .45s.
