Typically 115's are cheaper and for plinking (as it sounds like your doing) cheaper is typically better since your not trying to shoot wings off a nat at 100 yards.
115 vs. 147 grain bullet
just wondering, what are your opinions about 115 vs. 147 grain bullets. I have shot exclusively 115 gr., but I am thinking about running some 147 gr. range ammo. Thoughts and opinions are welcomed and encouraged.

Ballistically they will both go through paper since the OP mentioned using the 147 for "range ammo" not home defense :wink:
One thing to remember, though--different bullet weights have different ballistic characteristics. It's not wise to practice with 115 gr bullets then use a heavier weight bullet for self defense. That's part of the reason that the FBI and other federal agencies practice with the same round that they carry.
