Hereās an article discussing grain types. It goes over grains with handguns vs. rifles.
I was most interested in the affect on recoil. My humble impression, was that it might depend on lots of other factors. Iāll look in our online community for the subject heading on recoil and ask about it there:

Every time I see this topic, I keep thinking it is going to explain the differences between barley and other grains, such as oat, wheat and rye and their use in production of quality beverages. 
The next thought is on the actual types of powder, not bullet weights.

Talcum or baking powder?

Yeah, no, that is not what I think of in relation to cartridges. More like burn rates and physical characteristics, such as ball, flake, stick, etc.

Oh, I know. I was thinking more as an accompaniment to barley and other āgrains.ā

Definitely a solid high-wheat bourbon with a little rye and barley.
On a more serious note, anybody see any ballistics on the 124-grains Federal Punch? Curious how itās different than HST.

Iāve seen that video and still have mixed feelings.
Local Police uses the stuff that works so the advantage is I donāt need to test the ammo.
But these days Iām counting in FBI ballistic tests and using what seems to be working best for me, depending on the season.
To be honest this decision was made after another Paul Harrellās video, where he tested different HP ammo penetration through garment layers.

Anything below 115 grains has a hard time going through thick clothing. For northern people just using 124 grain +p is preferable. If you want to run quietly use 140+ grains to be subsonic. Watch Military Arms Channels testing of defensive 9mm for a great example.
