    I think next I'll do 147. I think I only got the 124 because they were cheaper.

    Why switch to 147s?

    This thread pretty much explains it. https://www.ar-15.co/threads/139591-...ht=penetration

    I've seen people have issues putting down poppers with 9mm before, but not that often.

    I know you compete, but I wasn't sure what type of targets you were shooting at. I was going to say, 147's would give better "knockdown" power, and likely milder recoil.

    You should find someone who lives near you that you could carpool with to try a match sometime. I'd recommend myself, except new shooters have to show up early for the new shooter's meeting, and every time I tell myself that I'll be early "this time" I roll up right as people are about to start shooting.

    What are we looking at for start time? I'll buy breakfast if you wake up early....
