I've been looking at buying some bulk ammo here for breaking in some family guns. Most of this is range time working on fundamentals as well as getting used to these particular weapons. But a lot of what I am seeing is either 165 gr, or even 180 gr.
I see that 180gr is sometimes loaded a bit on the weak side in order for maximum potential peak pressure to fall with prescribed standards, but that 165gr tends to have a higher velocity and energy transfer.
Can someone explain this to me? (I've been a parrot up to this point) I'd like to get a better idea of what I SHOULD be looking for to make an informed decision.
Thanks all!
