.38Sp - Whatever SWC is cheap - it's primarily a critter/target gun
.380 - Hydrashok, Gold Dot, Golden Saber
9mm - Hornady XTP, until I get around to testing others
.45ACP - Hydrashok, Gold Dot, Golden Saber
.30-06, .243, .22WMR - Any JSP; does it really matter?
12ga - whatever's in it, but meaning to order some 3.5" 00 buck

So far, the Gold Dot, Golden Saber, and Hydrashok all do fine in everything I've tried them in, so I just use whichever I can find a deal on, with a slight preference for Golden Sabers.

The rifles are going to overpenetrate at home defense ranges anyway, and accuracy at less than two barrel lengths is hardly a function of the ammo, so I just throw in whatever I have laying around. The .22WMR wouldn't be my first choice, but since it's the main varmint gun, it's always kept handy.
