I have a .40 HK P2000SK and have mixed Remington 180grn GS with 135grn Cor-Bon, and Winchester 165grn. I wanted to A, see if the POI was dramatically different, B, if the difference in recoil would mess up follow up shots, C cause any feeding/ejection problems. I fired from 7 yards out to 15 yards and the answers are A not enough to worry about with a silhoette, B I found I wait for the sights to realign before I pull the trigger again so even though there was a significant difference in perceived recoil, accuracy and time to followup was not significantly effected, and lastly C none, either left or right hand only nor with both hand holds. Not saying I recommend this just thought I would try it as an experiment. Have a good day.
