I have been doing EXTENSIVE research on what is the best personal defense load in the .40 S&W caliber. I own a S&W M&P - and I have been racking my brain to put together the best combo of firearm and ammo. I have settled on two loads for the playoff: 1. Winchester Ranger Partition Gold JHP 165gr & 2. Federal Hydra-Shock Tactical JHP 180gr.
I have placed the Winchester PG ahead of the Federal Round, but I cannot for the life of me find ANYWHERE to purchase this load! I can find the Hydra-Shock everywhere without even trying.
At this time I carry +P 165gr JHP loaded buy GA Arms out of Villa Rica, GA - I am very pleased with this load but have seen the terminal ballistics of the Ranger PG & Hydra-Shock and want to try these bad boys out. I don't want to settle on the Hydra-Shock without even running some of the PGs through my piece. I really like the idea and function of a +P load too - are the Ranger PG and Hydra-Shock loads available with a +P option? With these loads is +P even necessary?
MAIN QUESTION:
Does anyone know where I can find the Ranger PGs? I can't even find them on-line... I am open to recommendations, advice, and personal anecdotes.
