My wife and I do a lot of wilderness ventures, and I usually carry my 10mm for SD. She also brings along her 9mm just in case. So, I am wondering what loading you guys think would produce the deepest penetration. I have been loading her up with 124g Golden Saber +P for daily carry in the city, and I put 147g WWB standard pressure in there for the woods.
My reasoning for the 147g WWB is that the slower, heavier round will not expand as rapidly as the lighter, faster round. Thus penetrating deeper as a result of more mass and less friction. However, I am assuming the difference won't be more than an inch or so.
So, what do you folks think is the best 9mm round for deep penetration? I wish someone made a 147g FMJ-FP +P. That might make a viable woods round. However, I can't seem to find anything that even comes close to that.
