For a shot I'm never gonna take (or make), kudos to 9mm, 147gr HST
Attachment 40196
LG is always entertaining. Thanks!
wonder why they chose the standard pressure 147 HST over the +P.
I wondered that, too. Other than that load is very popular, maybe it's what they had on hand.Quote:

Could be because there is no 147 HST +P to be found right now. I've been looking for the last month or so. The only reason to buy the +P is if it shoots more accurately in your gun than the standard pressure stuff. I think both expand just fine. My current carry gun likes the +P better.Quote:

The Speer 124 Gold Dots remain good alternatives if you can’t find the Federal loads or it shoots better for you.Quote:

In case you didn't know, Federal discontinued the HST 147 +P a while ago so "not to be found right now" is probably the new norm.Quote:
