165 gr FMJ should be fine for target (I believe that the designation is USA40SW and USA40SWVP). If you're finding 100 round Value Packs for $12, that's a damn good price! (some of the local sporting good stores sell 9mm Value Packs for that price)

Believe it or not...(2) guys I shoot on a tuesday night league with have had issues with WWB 165 keyholing targets. They are shooting them out of Glocks though, Ive never had an issue with them when I tried them in my P229 but just thought I would throw that out there.

When you have them keyholeing, that's when you shout "DOUBLE!!!"
