Yes, it is an excellent loading. A little old in the technology department but, it works just as well now as it did when it was the "latest and greatest." I wouldn't hesitate to use it.carnaco wrote:Is the Federal 115gr. +p+ any good ? I found some for $15 per 50rds.

They did a comparison awhile ago from .22 to .40 in small handguns:

Ain't THAT the truth!Lessons learned:
1. Some ammo works just fine in short barrels, as shown by the .38 Special rounds.
2. The "more powerful" .40 S&W did not penetrate as well as the 9mm rounds.
3. Longer barreled pistols give more velocity and may be the difference in total expansion and partial expansion. Maybe more tests are in order on this subject.
4. Shooting stuff is still fun.
With $23.15 worth of water soaking into the ground, we left the range for today.
It was still better than the best day I ever spent at work.
