This is a list of 9mm statements that I've read. Please correct me or offer advice.
1. 115gr is usually fastest, 124 is in the middle, and 147gr is slowest.
2. Faster loads penetrate less, i.e. 115 penetrates less than 124 which penetrates less than 147.
3. Slower loads have more "stopping power", whatever that is presumed to mean.
4. Hollow point, in any weight, makes a bigger entrance wound
5. Hollow point penetrates less than a comparable weight round nose projectile
6. Hollow point is safer for bystanders and neighbors due to lower penetration
7. Hydra shok hollow points still penetrates a lot due to the point in the center
Additionally, where do +P loads fit into this? Most of the +P loads I see are 115gr. Does that just make it faster? Does it penetrate less than a standard pressure 115gr? Why do I want +P?
