I am loading 9mm and 45acp right now that I shoot in USPSA and IDPA at home. I want to find out what is the best combination to lower felt recoil to allow quicker shoots for double taps and such. I also plan on changing out my recoil springs to help out with this.
Would a lighter bullet with faster powder be better than a hevier one with slow powder? Do some powders yeild a lower recoil? I had one guy tell me that a lower weight bullet with a faster powder is better.
SO what is some of the compition guys thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Mark
