What are the advantages/disadvantages of using bullets of non-standard weights?
I reload 9mm the majority of the time. I have seen a lot of unusual weight 9mm bullets and was wondering how they came about and if they offer any specific advantages.
So far, I have seen a 114gr, 122gr, 123gr, 130gr, 136gr , 145gr, 153gr , & 158gr.
I was thinking that the odd weight may have came from some who wish to modify POI by modifying bullet weight. Then I thought about how the weight will also effect power factor and penetration.
Are there any other reasons why these odd bullet weights came to be?
Thanks in advance.
