About LinkBacksJust received my new catalog from CTD and they are advertising .40cal Federal ammo 135gr and 155gr. Anyone here have any comments on performance? Likes dislikes? I usually carry 165gr rem in my smith.
thanks Al

It comes a time in your life when you run across someone you should have never @#$$% with. Allow me to introduce myself!

I've seen the 155g before. You probably wont be able to tell the difference from the 165g. As for the 135g, thats new to me.

I personally don't like the 135gr Federal Hydra Shok is to light for my taste. I shot quite a bit 4-5 years ago when I got my first .40, and while nice and mild, I found I liked the heavier/slower rounds better, and still prefer them today.
Good luck

Go with Ranger T or Federal HST (not hydrashok) if you want the best you can get. They are harder to come by and are available to civilians on the web.

IMHO 165gr is about optimum in a .40 , anything lighter is like
shooting a 9mm.
I prefer the 180 gr loads myself.

imho place your shots com , let the felon tell you what he was shot with . If it was anemic he will complain lol .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .

The 135gr is a "medium velocity" load. It's for some or other LEO contract, so if CTD has it, probably an over-run. Everyone has a different opinion, especially when it comes to .40. I'd pick the 155gr of the two.
