Now that I carry, mostly, a 12 oz gun, I keep it loaded with Federal gold medal wad cutters.
Which I change out every week, when I shoot them at the range.
I'm sure it's profitable for the ammo company, but I think it might make more sense to carry loads which are more at a "weekly practice" price point, than a "unload them, save them, and load other ammo" price point.
From looking at the "meat target" videos, and Lucky Gunners ballistic test, it seems like it's a bit of a crap shoot on whether or not a JHP will expand, especially at compact gun impact velocities.
