Does anyone here have much of an opinion on this load? I would like to try it because the performance looks much like the +P 124, but without the added pressure of that round. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated...thanks...
Yep that's the truth. That's why a 120grain broadhead at 320fps from a bow will take a bear, penetration!!!!In 9mm I'm sold on the 147gr myself. IMO, speed is good, but weight and penetration rules. YMMV
SPEER GD makes a 124gr +P Short Barrel 9mm ammo that supposedly solves the issue of incomplete burn of powder. I love it, but just cant get it in the 50 boxes that Id prefer.Actually, the 147gr will probably have better penetration, and less % of velocity loss, out of the shorter barrel. Basically, more complete burn of powder.
There's a post in another thread where Winchester recommends their heavier 147gr Ranger in subcompacts for this reason.
Personally, I didn't find the 147gr rounds snappy out of my G26 at all. Very controllable.
Really!!... I have found 147gr golden saber for $16 for 25. Ive never priced gold dots though.I just tried 124gr Speer Golddots and 147gr Golden sabers in my G26 and 229, I am really sold on the 124gr personally, the Golden Sabers were easy to shoot, but I found the golddots more accurate. Plus they are about half the price of the Golden Sabers.
That's interesting--can't find a 115gr Gold Dot +P, let alone a +P+, listed on either their Personal Defense product list or their LE product list...I got a bunch of the Gold dot 115gr +P+ ang man it "Rocks" I use it in My Glock 17 and 19
