I say none of the above. When I am shopping for ammunition, which doesn't happen as much these days, I shop here:

If you want your load tweaked a little to the right or left, Ron will do it. You won't find a better price nor better guy.

If you don't see it, ask, they will do what they can to fix you up.

just be clear need copper round

Ron and Co. will stuff it with whatever your little heart desires. Just give them a call.

You can send them your own brass and/or bullets if you want.

Damon,

To answer you question, 40 FPS is nothing to worry about. I prefer the heavier 250gr Barnes to the 225gr, but, to each his own. With the exception of sheep and elk, I have killed everything else in California with a 45 Colt with no problems at all.
