Mine personally in 9mm is Ranger SXT, Hornady Hollow points in .40cal and Golden Saber in my .45 ACP's. I sometimes will also load the Golden Saber in one of my 2 9mm. I've had very good groupings with the Golden Saber rounds before.
Not ballisticly favorable or self defense ideal, so I'm told, but .45ACP Winchester white box 230gr FMJ in the 1911 and .357mag CCI Blazer 158gr JHP in the SP101 snubbie. They are the most affordable option in my situation and the 158gr shoots POA.
Very true on the ballistics Sigh and I can understand your thinking. The Remington HD rounds I carry are only $25 for $25 around these parts, not to bad on the wallet.
