Does anyone else hate 115gr 9mm?

[Patermagnus]

No problems with 115gr at all.

[JackRydden224]

I have no problem with 115gr. Put the gun on a rest and see how it shoots. Let someone else try the gun and ammo to see if they have the same problem.

I use blazer brass 115gr 9mm all the time. this is my last range trip with it a couple of weeks ago at 7 yards. head shots are my buddy, center mass are mine. works fine and pretty consistent for me. the round can do better than my shooting for sure.

No more 115 here either

I've been using 115 exclusively for the last 7 months and the results were, meh...

So I was missing the "POP" of a sharper round and went to 124's and I like them a lot. Granted, it's more than 1 mag, but pretty good results.



Top = Shield & bottom = 2022 both at 7.5 yards

Umm, not trying to bust any balls here, or pretend to be a Navy SEAL marksman, but at 7.5 yards, I can get groupings like that using 115 grain fairly easy.

I honestly don't get the 115 grain hate.

I've never had "problems" with 115's but always preferred 147's. A little more accurate and less perceived recoil (in my mind anyway).

I've also noticed that for me, the 9mm 115's are the hardest to flip a MGM spinner.

Maybe I jumped the gun. The time I bought the bulk Winchester White Box, it was only 200 rnds. (They were cheap!). So yeah, my sample size is only 200 rnds through that one G.17.

I noticed the POI and the POA were off for both of us shooting on that day.

I know I am not the best pistol shot, but damn I know what my shooting looks like and it didn't look like that on that day.


(Now the one thing that I notice I tend to do with most handguns is that I shoot low mostly 6 oclock and slightly to the right sometimes. This is while pointing at the bullseye in the middle of a round target.) I am left handed.

[Treb5]

Much the same as above. All my 9mm plinking is with 115g ammo. Never a problem.

[S&W SD]

I haven't really noticed a difference to be honest ...

i keep 9mm in a big box mix and match . no difference for me .

between nato and 115 .. but im sure someone smarter and more experienced than me will know the answer

[himurax13]

I prefer the slightly less snappy feel of the 124 vs the 115 when you are rapid firing. Other than that, the difference is almost negligible.

[PyroFox79]

I shoot whatever I could get my hands on with my 92fs. I never noticed an accuracy difference. Hell I qualled for my exposed firearms permit with blazer steel cased and got 250/250

i just put a few hundred blazer brass threw my baby
got them 25 $ for 100 . put 500 hundred down range

no issues at all .. other than the pink looking bullet blazer brass is good in my opinion

I only shoot new factory ammo and use 115gr 9mm in all my 9mm as training and IDPA competition ammo. I have never had a bad round or any accuracy issues; no stoppages of any kind and I have been Shooting maybe 10,000 rnds / year for a number of years. Absolutely no accuracy issues at all but at handgun ranges tenets shouldn't be any noticeable differences in factory ammo loaded to SAAMI spec.

Weapons:

Ammo:
Federal Target

I don't really notice any difference between 115g and 124g 9mm target ammo. I can differentiate between 115g target ammo and 9mm NATO (124g) when shooting thru a mixed magazine.

[Saym14]

All my guns shoot 115 just fine

[BoJackUSMC]

All my Glock eats just about anything, 115, 124, 147
