Ok, ok, I defer to Miss Derringer who front runs for Hornady and makes some of their primers in a pinch.

I have had 1 jam in about 250 rounds, it was a failure to eject, with my Rohrbaugh. It was with a Hornady Critical Defense.

I just ordered some Winchester Ranger "T"  Series - 147gr JHPs - RA9T

I like the way the round performs through the different barrier tests and against bare gelatin.

But, if for some reason I was really sold on Hornady and only wanted Hornady ammo, then I think the 135gr Critical Duty is a better round (it comes in standard pressure also as MRC noted, so it can be used in the R9)

I'd rather have a bullet that generally penetrates to around 14" and expands to about 65 calibre, than a bullet that penetrates 15" and expands to .555"  But that's my opinion...
