I'm confused about grains of ammo....is the lower number of grains going to make less recoil and sound than a higher number? I've read some articles online but there are 2 "kinds" of grains, right? How do I know what number should be on the box of rounds I buy?
Should I just take what the guy hands me? The guy who sold me the revolver also sold me some "lower recoil" rounds,but haven't been able to use those yet. All the rounds I've shot have been fmj, though I do have hollow points for the guns. I get that hollow points are supposed to open once they hit, and inflict more damage in the bad guy.
Do hollow points feel different when shooting, from fmj rounds? Louder? More snap?
This is a lot of questions...may be I should have done two threads?
PS I'm sure the kind of gun is going to impact things too....try not to confuse me, please!
Words of one syllable...lol....
