Self defense ammo.... what's in your EDC?

[SafeCracka]

I have always swore by Remington Golden Saber as my "self defense ammo" but over the last few years more and more companies have come out with newer "better" stuff...

What do you carry in your EDC and why?

Personally never given much weight to opinions, more interested in data. Here's the data.

Anyone know what most of the police and military use these day?

Critical Duty, I would also carry HST but I can never seem to find it in the store when I need to pick up ammo.

Golden Saber Bonded bullets are great.
HST's
T Series Winchester.

I carry and/or have carried and hunted with all of them.

I had a partial jacket separation on a 180 grain Golden saber 40 S&W bullet recovered from a doe. The lead core was just barely attached to the jacket. After that I switched to bonded. No problems.

Winchester SXZ currently... but looking to change to a bonded projectile. I have two boxes of Ranger T at home in the 147 grain variety- just haven't had time to go function check a box in my G26.

Slowly changing to all bonded, winchester ranger t's, federal hst, and, remington golden saber, but still have quite a few winchester ranger t hp's. Try to stick with those but want to try out some buffalo bore or underwood 357sig tho.
