Velocity ?
I purchased some 9mm 124 gr. Copper platted bullets. The actual weight ranges from 123 to 125. Using AutoComp powder.
Will I see much difference in the velocity using the same powder charge? Loaded up 123 to 123.5 gr. rounds not tested yet. Have tested the 125's they average 1030 fps. |

Maybe.
Velocity spread occurs for many reasons. I doubt the wee weight variance will be significant (I suggest the case will have greater significance).

Well just went to the range and tested the lighter weight rounds. They came back a little slower at 938 fps. So it is not much but it is to slow for USPSA.
