Hello THR!
I'm in the process of acquiring my reloading gear, and while I wait I have a 9mm question - 147 gr bullets are sold as "subsonic", but is there any advantage to using them over lower weight bullets that are loaded to subsonic speeds? This is for range / steel shooting with my Glocks and suppressed 9mm AR.
Are the 147s primarily to meet power factor requirements in the various shooting sports, or maybe some increased reliability cycling a cartridge that just fired a heavier bullet at subsonic speeds? Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks!
