    I agree with you. People that have all the luxuries but plead poverty.

    I reload and practice with 124gr bullets, so I carry 127gr Ranger T +P+

    Not on purpose
    My point was to carry a load as similar as possible to practice load.
    No point practicing with 115/124gr and carriying 147gr.

    People put way too much value in having their practice ammo emulate carry ammo. It's more important to practice enpugh, with ammo that works well in your gun.

    Also, dont underestimate how hot some 115gr factory ball is.

    I have to agree here. S&B 115 grain can be surprisingly stout.
