Greets folks.
I'd like to find a compatible load for practice vs carry. The main difference I'd be looking at was a FMJ vs JHP bullet. My goal is to keep accuracy, felt recoil, muzzle flash, etc as close to each other as possible. The old 'practice the way you fight' concept.
I buy 1000 rds of Winchester 115grn FMJ flat base for $47 delivered. I want the practice ammo to be as cheap as possible so I can shoot a lot of it, but be close to a viable 'carry' round. I have the remains of some 124grn Hornady XTP I loaded, but I'm slowly shooting them off.
Suggestions on powder, bullet, etc? Any suggestions would be most helpful.
Also, as an aside is there a way to determine the 'recipes' for popular 'carry' rounds such as Golden Sabers or HyrdoShoks, where the individual bullets are available? It would be nice to be able to 'home grow' my own golden saber rounds and practice with those, if cheap enough.
