Curious to see the thoughts of you guys. It's an old-school cup-and-core JHP. There have been significant advancements in bullet construction with regard to terminal ballistics in the decades since 9BPLE's introduction, but it still has a following. In other words it's still not a bad choice. Although it is a +P+ round, I've never seen it's velocities chrono'd by someone above the low 1200's; a "true" (if you will) +P+ 9mm 115gr should hit the 1300's. Nonetheless, this round has a pretty good track record.

For the record, my load of choice is the HST 147gr +P. I do, however, have a few new(er) production boxes of 9BPLE on hand.
