I am just getting into reloading 9mm. There are soooo many choices of bullets.
My question is what drives the selection of bullet weights? For practice and plinking how do I choose between 115, 124 and 147 grains?
These will run in either a Browning BDM (basically a hi power with a pistol mode) or mostly through my new 92FS I will use for carry.
I have a bunch Federal 147gr hydra shok I plan to use for personal defense.
My intuition says to practice with the closest thing to what I will defend myself with which would mean I want load 147gr JHP RNs and also to make sure this gun runs them smoothly and I get used to the shooting characteristics of that weight.
Am I on the right track? Ready to learn from the wise.
