I "roll my own" so I could not say about Factory  rounds.

I load my own also but hornady 250 gr. xtp's seem to do the best.
an unloaded wepon is equal to the same mass and volume as a rock.

I haven't shot any factory yet either but 250 grain XTP's do well in mine.

Right now I'm shooting 250 gr. XTP-HPs out of Blue Star Cartridge and Brass, and I like them.
