I use and recommend the 230g RN in 45 ACP for its high potential feed reliability.
I currently have weights from 162g up to 252g.

In the 9x19 I prefer lead RN bullets weighing 130--135g; these allow sufficient slide momentum for reliable function, enough slide velocity to feel quicker than 145g-and-up, and provides more dwell time and momentum for steel reactive targets. They also allow greater latitude for sight adjustment.
I currently have weights from 115g up to 151g.

Yes, the weights listed are correct
