    Default What weight 9mm Bullet do you reload?

    Some time back a poll was done on Bullet weight. Curious to see if the results have changed since then. What weight do you reload for 9mm and why?

    125gr Silver Rapids BPJ bullets at this stage. Cheaper than frontier plus soft on the barrel and hand.

    I reload for 9mm, 147gr CMJ flat points.

    I find the 147gr has less muzzle lift and also the flat point creates a cleaner slightly larger hole on target, which helps with old age.

    What are the benefits of 124gr over 115gr or vice versa?

    Just a little off-topic but am wondering whether to buy 124gr or 115gr FMJ for range and maybe self defense.

    Started on 124gr RN, and settled on 147gr RN Frontiers.

    115gr CMJ round nose Frontier. Because it's cheapest. I don't compete so not worried about making factor.

    If just talking Frontier CMJ, easier to make factor and pistol not as snappy when using 124 over 115. Use slightly less powder so more rounds per tin. Also, 1000 124gr bullets are the same price as 750 147gr bullets. The 124gr just seems to be a good middle ground in price and utility.

    I prefer 147 FP but do still have some 124gr RN in stock.
