Best .40 S&W Round for Range Use?

[BillD]

Will be spending a lot of time at the range with my new Sig so just looking for something decent quality/price and possibly available in bulk for target shooting.

I would say something in 165 or 180 grain that you can afford. Don't worry JHP, they will just cost you more.
If you are new to pistol, shoot a thousand rounds then go from there. Most issues encountered by new shooters is "shooter error" rather than the ammo.
Winchester white box?

You just missed CanAm ammo sale. They do have "ammo box" going now.

You might feel that the 180gr. loads are a bit easier to control, most full power 165gr. in .40S&W are rocking and have a noticeable kick.

I've uses 165gr - I've used Winchester, BDX and S&B.

Check to see if SFRC can get you Wold commercial re-loads. I have used their 180gr lead bullet ammo and found it very cheap and quite accurate.

Wolf 180 gr, great stuff, pretty affordable, i shoot a lot of it and my pistols shoot good with it... JP.

Found some Winchester 165gr $19/Box 50 at local gun shop, so have a few boxes of that to start of with, will be back home next week with, hopefully, my new P226 waiting for me .
