What is the best .40 cal ammo?

The "best" ammo for target practice is my reloaded stuff because it's the least expensive, is very accurate, and I like reloading.

For self-defense I use premium factory ammo designed for the purpose, but also fire it to make sure it functions properly. Whenever I go to the range the first thing I do is fire the SD ammo that's in the magazine I carry.
 
And for home defense I load my mags with what I call a grab bag. A few hollow points a few speer fmj's. The theory is and this goes back to over penetration. If some would be rapist. Murderer or any nutty criminal with the balls to come into my home and try to harm my wife daughter or son I want the option of shooting thru the wall and killing the attacker.

When firing your grab bag magazines, under stress, how do you
ascertain which type of round is chambered? Firing at something that
you cannot see is a very bad idea. The person kying dead on the floor
may not be the bad guy. I think you might need to rethink some of your
ideas about home protection.
 
my fav

Win white box 180g for practice , win ranger 165 or 180g for getting it. My PT101 is heavy enough to tame the 40cal ammo. Lots of practice.
