I know this has been asked a million times probably, but anything I find in searching deals with Federal vs Winchester vs Speer vs etc.
My question is this:
Generally speaking, how do different iterations of 9mm hollow points perform? For example, in terms of self defense ammo, how does 124 grain compare to 124 grain +P compare to 147 grain? I know that +P means it will have higher velocity but how does that extra velocity affect expansion? And 147 grain will have lower velocity (sub-sonic) so how does that affect expansion? Which produces the most desireable result? What is most commonly used?
Side notes:
I'm not looking at +P+
I'm not really interested in brand vs brand because in all my research I've pretty much settled on Federal HST or Winchester SXT depending on how they feed in my new M&P9 which I'll be recieving next week.
