I've been practicing quite a bit with Winchester/USA ammo recently in my S&W 442. This is the 125 gr. 38 Special +P JHP stuff (USA38JHP).
I also tried today:
Winchester Supreme 38 Special +P SXT 130 gr. (S38SP)
Remington Golden Saber 38 Special +P BJHP 125 gr. (GS38SB)
Although I am able to fire all three relatively accurately, I am most accurate with the USA stuff. This probably has something to do with the fact that it is the cheapest, and I can afford to practice the most with it.
What are the disadvantages to relying on the USA stuff for defense?
Next time, I'm planning to try out some 158 gr. LSWCHPs, which is a little less costly than the "premium" stuff, but is still twice as expensive (at least in my neck of the woods) as the USA stuff.
Anybody use the cheap stuff outside of practicing?
