    virtually any of the new premium ammo is excellent. consider if your firearm is rated for +p and go from there. i like starfire, golden sabre and remington hp. test any u choose in your weapon for functioning.

    Choose any major brand (Remington, Winchester, Federal, etc.) hollowpoint that feeds reliably in your P12.Avoid +P ammo. It will only give more recoil and prematurly wear the gun.

    One of the top rated std. pressure loads it Federal HydraShok. That's all I carry in .45 and other calibers. It's proven itself well suited for defensive use.

    Save the brass and load your own. I love making bullets!

    Hey the winchester silvertip in 200 grain will do just fine. No feeding problems, and that is what I hunt with.

    i would guess that the .45 would only be a short range hunting round.....what would you be able to hunt with it?

    Ammo:For defensive purposes....Fed. Hydra-shok.For just blazing away at things...WolfHunting with a .45? You could hunt pretty much anything. Anything you can get within 10 yds. of that is.Mudge
