Ok fellas, how long to you hang on to your pricy SD ammo (in mags for every day use sweat and rough handling and all) before you replace it?
I do have to watch bullet setback when I load/unload
I don't use the real pricey stuff- I just can't afford a few hundred rounds of it (200 to make sure it functions flawlessly, another 200 for an on-hand supply). I just use Remington UMC 230grn JHP- $24/box of 100 at Wal-Mart.
Kurush ....
You should throw away the chambered bullet when you unload if it's a JHP because the tip can close up if you chamber it more than a couple times.

The first thing I do each visit to the range is empty my carry gun into the target just like if I'd drawn and fired in self defense. (using the ammo that I'd been carrying in the gun of course)
So far, no failures.
