Thanks, really like the videos.

I guess I'm good with the HST 147 gr. JHP's.

I use the Gold dot 124 gr. JHP's. Is there a noticable difference between the 124's and the 147 grains?

[berettabone]

Not really...........I just like a heavier bullet for defense.

[Rubb]

Personally, I feel no difference between 124+p and 147gr. Gold Dots.
I like and use them both.

HST 147's have now been tested too...

Good test data, excellent reports.

In our experience the 147s have a softer felt recoil for follow up shots, because of being slower and heavier.It's more of a push instead of a snap.
But shot placement is the key

After much testing we settled on these for our K9s








Here's what we carry in our PM9s








I suggest reading posts by Dr. Gary Roberts and other experts in the field of ballistics.

Federal 147 grain HST is my normal carry load and has been for sometime. It works great in short barrels too.

FYI...Gold Dot 147 and 115 tested
And..look out for ol' WWB

Do you folks notice a difference in point of aim between the 124 gr. and the
147 gr. ?

I've read that there is a difference but I haven't tested it myself.

I carry Fed HST in all the guns except for the Boberg. The Boberg seems to like Hornady Critical duty the best.
