9mm bullet weight selection??

[NorthernPF]

Hey guys!
I'm jumping into my first ever 9mm pistol, S&W M&P9 Pro Series and was wondering if there was any distinct advantage if choosing either a 115gr, 124gr ir 147gr. Also where are the best places to buy bulk (1000 rounds)?

Thanks

Try all three. Go to the range with whatever you can find. 115 gr will make muzzle rise faster, than 147 gr for double tapping. Charge your mag with three 147, then three 124 then three 115 gr. Only you will know what you like.

I've settled for 124g rounds it seems to be the best compromise between 115 and 147 for availability, I reload

I like 124/125 as well.

My Springfield XD9T likes 124s loaded out to max OAL. 10 shots in one ragged hole on the bullseye at 10m about 2-4 inches wide depending on the day and how well I'm concentrating on my basics. I always thought it was a nice combination of velocity and mass, providing for manageable recoil and certain slide operation.

I cast my own and prefer the heavy 147gr bullets.
