For factory ammo, I like the Remington 165 grain Corelokt cartridges.  I also like the 170 grain Speer Gold Dot Soft Point, I load mine with Li'l Gun, but I don't have the measured amount handy right now.  If you are interested, i can look it up for you.
Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition!

I found it:  CCI small pistol magnum primers, and 15.4 grains of Li'l Gun.
Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition!
