The best deal for the money right now and a very good load for a defensive round would be Georgia Arms...The Speer Bonded HP 124 gr. @1350 fps
$51.50 for 100 rnds. They did a 147gr. Speer Bonded HP @ 1200 fps
years ago. I still have a little stash left.

All the others are all good too..But for the price GA is hard to beat!!!!!
I have tried all the others too and have most of them on hand now.

If it goes in my gun for carry, I have ran at least several boxes before hand and several more over time.

Right now my load for carry in my full size Colt is the GA 147gr. GDHP.
Next would be the Win 125gr. STHP, only for the fact that I have a lot
of this on hand. If I needed to buy new, GA 124gr. Speer GDHP would be
my choice for the money.
