So I've decided to order a case of 147gr 9mm. My question is: Do the 147gr FMJ Winchester Super - X Subsonic rounds have enough punch to them to knock down steel at a Steel Challenge? Or do I need to look at 115gr or 124gr rounds?
Back when I had a 9mm a LONG TIME AGO I always shot the 147's never had a lick of trouble knocking steel over. Think of it this way, would you rather be hit by a BB at 1000fps or a bowling ball at 300fps? Later,
Kirk
Nothing is going to knock down the steel at Steel Challenge, they're ringing targets not falling.
Mitch Gibson said:On the subject of bullet weight, I did move to a 124gr projectiles in a ploy to guaranty knocking down poppers. It was a bad plan with no foundation other than a lazy half-assed guess. 115gr is just fine, and has more energy.
