A little intro is needed. I am new to reloading. I have been reloading for close to a year. This forum is the most helpful place and the members are great people. Thanks for all your help. All us newbies really appreciate the help.!!
Anyway, I was wondering why most people prfer heavy bullets to reload pistol rounds.? For example, most load 230 grain .45 or 158 grain .357, etc. But right now, some bullets are getting harder and harder to find. Would there be any detrimnet to shooting say 185 or 200 grain in .45.? Powder Valley has a lot of 185 and 200 grain in stock but not 230.
I was just wondering what the advantage is or detriments to using lighter grain bullets? At this point, I only destroy cardboard.
