An opinions on which is better for USPSA competition? This is for my dainty 9MM in production.

What ever shoots the most accurate and the cheapest in your gun. I think you will find in most cases FMJ or CMJ will be the cheapest and sufficently accurate for USPSA.

From what I heard/read, the HP are SUPPOSTED to be better made as they are made from the bottom up where as the FMJ are made from the top down. Just what I heard/read. I'm not good enough to tell the differance though and the HP are going to be more expensive.

While I certainly have not tried every make and model of bullet on the market, I get the best accuracy out of FMJ in 9mm Luger and 45Auto. In 40 S&W, I get the best accuracy from a Hornady HAP bullet, which is a hollow point bullet designed for action pistol (versus self defense) purposes.

I use FMJ's in USPSA competition because it is cheaper.
