G17 bullet weight preference

Federal 9BPLE 115gr +P+ is the most accurate in all of my 9mm guns.

[DDM4556]

I shoot 115gr. Works fine

[Carcassonne]

Mine can shoot good with any weight as long as the load is consistent. I have shot handloaded ammo with 80 grain 380 bullets to 158 grain resized 38/357 bullets.

What do you mean by "best?" Accurate? Felt recoil?

[PachecoFTW]

115 for control
124 for if there is no 115, has slightly more recoil.
147+ selfdefense

Ive bought a 30$ box of hornady that shot horrible, other times ive bought tula and blazer aluminum and I would hit the 10 inch gong almost every time at 100 yards

I picked up a couple cases of M1152 with the 115-gr. bullet at 1326 f.p.s. and 449 ft.-lbs. of energy at LAX Ammo before the Dark Times. It is reliable and shoots to point of aim in my Glock Gen-4 26, 19, 17 and Ruger LCR. While reliable with 'economy' aluminum cased / copper plated bullet ammo none of my Glocks shoot it with consistent accuracy.

Any NATO equivalent 115gr. for blaster/practice ammo. I use/have lots of Wolf classic.

Powrball 100gr for my edc Glocks. (I still have plenty on hand)

*similar POA/POI.

All my 9mm is 124 gr

[jimmykan]

124 grains and up, for me.

I prefer to have more bullet shank seated inside the case.

At 1.169" COL, 115 grain bullets only have about 0.160" of the bullet held onto by the case, on a 0.355" diameter bullet.

[crufflers]

I have mostly 115 grain FMJ but some 124 that went on sale once in a while... all HST is 147 grain half standard and half +P... have some odd HD rounds like a few 20 packs of BB 115 ++ probably some light flexlocks.

Agreed. My fav is Zero 125grn JHP. Same bullet for making minor Production class or when I used to shoot Unlimited.

[KevinA.]

Have shot everything from 115-150gr through my 26 and 19. I load 147s and they run through both just fine.

[lakersfan]

I mostly reload 147 gr FP but do 124 FP and 115 and 124 RN also. My HST is 147 gr.
