If it functions flawlessly in the gun youre firing it in and you can shoot it accurately and have confidence in it, these are the most important factors to me. Any number of hits center of mass with 115gr, 124, 145 or 147gr goes farther towards ending the threat than an FTF, FTE or a miss because the gun doesn't function properly and you lack confidence because you can't shoot a particular round the "experts" say is best. Use what works for YOU.

John.  I agree.  I am a firm believer in using what works for you, and what you have confidence in.

Wise words from both of you gentlemen to which I vehemently agree.

I prefer the 147 grain based upon my experience but am open to the 115 and 124 grain bullets. If they all work in my Robar R9, what is not to like?

Concomitantly, if the 115 and 124 bullets did not work in my R9 and the 147 grain does, I echo what is referenced above; "whatever works for you".
