I have a couple of 9mm carbines and a choice bullet weights to choose for them...115 grain and 147 grain...both in JHP. The majority of these bullets are the white box Winchester and Remington UMC.

My concern is over-driving the bullet...pushing it beyond velocities that it was designed for.

If you had to choose, which would you make as primary choice for a 9mm carbine and why?

Thanks
