good .40 ammo?

[Crankgrinder]

In the past ive loaded Speer gold dot and Remington gold sabers in my 9mms. Lately these seem to be a little thin. My lgs has lots of Hornady hst and pmc starfire and even cor-bon. Any of these as good as the former or am I a Chinese jet pilot? Any suggestions on preferred jhp for the .40?

Federal HST is excellent

Might not be the cheapest, especially with shipping, but it's out there.
Maybe team up with some shooting buddys to share the shipping costs.

I like Federal HST and Gold Dot, 180-grain if I can find it, 165-grain if I can't.

Those are the only ones I use. Both great designs, both well-proven and widely adopted by law enforcement. The current very, very favorite is the 180-grain HST, then 180-grain Gold Dot, then the 165-grain HST, then the 165-grain Gold Dot. I don't go lighter.

I carry 150 grain jhp Corbon because it is the most accurate in my PPS. I think all forty loads are pretty effective, so accuracy was my differentiator.

Federal HST 180 grain is my carry ammo. Excellent performance. Look up test videos & you'll know why they're one of the top rounds.
