Oh gee, I do not want to be in the area, if you fire a shell with 124 gr of powder! Sorry, I just had to say that. I am a rookie, after a many year absence from shooting myself.

I say, just remember this one thing!! THE ONLY DUMB QUESTION IS THE ONE YOU DO NOT ASK BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE SILLY, OR EMBARASSING.

I am slowly learning from the guys here, I even answer a few.

Whoops I did forget to put the answer in.

115 gr bullet, not cartridge is the round thing in front of the casing, which has the powder & primer in it.

I have a 9 mm, myself the only three rounds I have fired are standard load, 115fmj, 124fmj, and 147 JHP.

And I was not laughing at all. I hope your more accurate with your 9mm than I am. OH and welcome aboard, as I have not seen a new member introduction from you that I remember.

Actually, if you check out the section on loading, you will find out that grain is used in bullet weight and powder weights. Thus my stupid joke, not wanting to be around if you fired a 124 gr powder load from any gun.

I see these reloaders talking about 6 gr, 10 gr and loads like that depending on the bullet weight. Heavy loads of powder in light bullets, light loads of powder in heavy bullets. It took a bit for me to reconcile that in my mind, but it is starting to make sense after being here for almost 5 months.

Many of the boxes have the FPS, and other information on the end flaps. I have never looked for powder load info on standard rounds, but it might be there. My guns and ammo boxes are stored away from the office so I can't run and look.

Oh I have asked the +P questions for 9mm, 38, 357, and 45 colts. If you use the search function and just put in +P you will probably get ton of information.

You will do well, the practiced, informed and educated gun owner is what the world needs. Not "range commando's, or street smart gun happy idiots"
