It is, in my opinion, the best kept secret in ammo. I use S&B 230 grain FMJ as my standard .45 carry ammo. Also in my short barrel .40 XD Subcompact. I buy it a lot for range ammo too. It is a little more powerful than the standard range ammo like WWB so it gives a more realistic feeling of what high dollar carry ammo will shoot like without the high dollar price tag.
