[QUOTE="1911user, post: 1552354, member: 543"] Unless you are talking about 50-100 yards away, distance to the target is not relevant to impact velocity. Distance can affect how well the bullet can be placed/aimed, but that is independent of the caliber used. Don't worry about distance. For ammunition, concern yourself with caliber, projectile design, velocity, manufacturing quality control, and (IMHO) mag capacity. My answer is no, I would not use lightweight (for the caliber) hollowpoint ammo. To me, 115gr is too light for serious 9mm JHP. The only exception to this are the corbon DPX rounds; they have proven to penetrate enough in testing. However, they are expensive compared to other suitable ammo. [/QUOTE]
