I tend to use the original development weight for a cartridge. So I like 124gr in a full sized gun, but carry +p ammo in my short barrel carry gun.
I don't understand the choices. A 115 grain bullet weighs the same regardless of whether it's loaded in a +P cartridge or not. Same with the other bullet weights. It's like the old question, what weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks? And what's with the 6?
What's the 6? Is that a misprint?I explained it already. If it clears up confusion for you, the question would have been better asked as "what bullet weight and pressure do you like?". Does that make sense? I figured for some people, they make a bullet weight better or worse depending on the pressure to which it was loaded.
Modern SuperVel... I like the idea, but haven’t tried them yet. I would love to get hold of those bullets to load into a 38spl.Guess I'm the oddball, but I like the 50gr liberty civil defense running 2000 FPS. Just to be sure I chronoed them out of 2 different carry guns, both with 3" barrels, averaged 1980FPS out of one and 1996FPS out of the other.
Bonus, 11 rounds of this ammo don't add much weight to my 365, perfect for pocket carry.

I prefer the hottest round I can find.View attachment 814756
230's
Like Mike, I perfer 230's, but I voted 124's, as that's what I had for the 9mm I used to own, and what I will run in one when I get one in the near future.
