What lead bullet weight and powder combination have you found that provides the least amount of recoil for a 9mm?
Right now I'm using MBC 115gr with 231...has a mild recoil -- just wondering about other combinations that would produce less recoil. I've read the saying "heavier bullet, lighter load"....based on that a 147gr with powder x would produce a milder recoil than a 115gr? Will it even be noticeable? 124gr seems to be a clear favorite on the forum.
Only purpose is for knocking down reactive targets for fun...wife has a storm lake extended compensated...so her mp 5" already is a blast to shoot.
Thanks!
