Does 115 grain have more recoil than 124 grain?

I have loaded all these loads and in an “unscientific” recoil test, recoil “feels” strongest in the 115 gr. load, next is the 124 gr. and the 147 gr. load is the softest shooting….Registered.

Is 115 grain good for 9mm?

The goal is to point out that the 115 gr. FMJ 9mm round is a great choice for practice and for matches, but don’t load your self defense handgun with that same ammunition. This is especially true with 9mm handguns and carbines.

Is 124gr better than 115gr?

What Is the Difference Between 115-grain and 124-grain 9mm Ammo? The difference is that 124 grain is heavier. So, the difference between a 115-grain round and a 124-grain round is the weight, sure. However, that’s just the first and biggest difference, not the only difference.

What is the difference in 9mm ammo?

9mm round is much larger and much more powerful. At the same time the 9mm is still and easy shooting and accurate round. 9mm is louder, has more recoil, and is more challenging to shoot. More experienced shooters, or shooters focused on self-defense would be better served with a 9mm.

Which is better a 9mm Glock or a 124 gr?

I load a few thousand 9mm handloads a year and always prefer 124 gr over 115. I think the wee bit extra mass helps make the action of the pistol function better. With Glocks this isn’t readily apparent but a tightly fitted steel 9mm shows some difference. 124s also smack steel targets harder and knock bowling pins down a bit better if you compete.

Which is more accurate ammo 115gr or 124gr?

I primarily shoot Winchester, I prefer Federal American Eagle and Speer Lawman 124 and 147 but I have also found PMC 115 to be very accurate in almost all my pistols and a little softer shooting.

Which is better 115 gr or 147 gr 9mm?

Same with the 9mm trying to reach a PF of 125. With a 115 gr bullet, the velocity needs to be 1087 fps whereas with a 147 gr bullet the velocity is just 850 fps. Again, a lot less felt recoil even though the momentum is the same.

How much does a 124 grain ammo cost?

Can’t say that for some other brands. It can be found online for $185-210 per thousand rounds (for the 124 grain). Does S&B =Sellier &Bellot?
