I tried like heck to make the 135gr work in my 9mm's do to the
fact that it had a lower power facto than the 124 or the 147 in
one of my family members Kahr 3", 16 oz. light weight auto's.

However at a oal of 1.12 down to 1.165", it could not match the
groups/accuracy of the lighter or heavier bullets, that I tested with nine different type powders from three companies.

I did not like the "Bark" of the light 115gr bullets and liked the
feel and noise level of the 124 or 147 with all the protective gear.

With the new designs in bullets today, I have no idea if a bullet
that has a hollow tip or base, is better than a RN or tapered or cone tip, bullet, in the 9mm pistol ?

Over the years with all my testing.....
with all the new stuff coming out, I am sinking, deeper and deeper into the mud hole !!
