Virtually no one uses anything other than accurized semiautos today.
I agree. When I punched paper in the `80`s there was no other load to be considered. I had very good luck with 3gr Bullseye and a 148 or 158 gr lead bullet. ,These days Im shooting more at plates and pins. It takes a little more punch to get the job done.
