Remington has the softest lead out of those FBI loads. I could dent it with my fingernail but I couldn't do that with the Federal version. The FBI load has a lot of history of decent performance from snubs. Just b/c Chief38 found out about the truth of its performance velocity-wise, doesn't magically make that history disappear. I use the Speer 135gr+P load b/c it's easier to load via speedloader and tests seem to confirm it performs better after passing through barriers. And I can get it for $5 less/50rnds.
I'd pick the Remington FBI load over anything from BB b/c it has a history that we know about.
