Now that I've started reloading using "store bought" jacketed bullets, I'm considering getting a 9m bullet mold to try some centerfire round casting.

I have done a good bit of casting for my muzzleloaders. I will eventually get a 9mm mold for some weight in a RN projectile for range plinking, but I haven't settled on one yet.

What I'd like to know is what are the advantages of these three weight bullets?

For instance, why would you personally choose a 147 grain bullet over a 115, etc. ?
