The only reasons i can think of are is you shoot in matches with heavy set steel or are under the impression that they will give you more "stopping power". The down sides are you go through more powder and create more wear and tear on your firearmI am just curious as why one would want to run "hot loads". Is there any positive effect? I'm relatively new to hand-loading, and tend to stay in the safe, comfortable zone.

To be honest, you're not really going to see any difference. A standard pressure supersonic round goes "bang". A super-duper-sonic round also just goes "bang". The casual observer is not going to be able to tell much / any difference.I mainly reload for subsonic shooting with a suppressor. Thought I might load up some +P+ for the wow factor between subsonic and full house sub gun ammo...
