JP>"Hotter" is a slang term with imprecise meaning. Heavier means EXACTLY
JP>what it says: a 147 grain 9mm bullet weighs 32 grains more than a 115
I disagree, I am forever hearing the term "heavy load" when the shooter
means "more powerful load". Heavier bullets on the other hand do explain
exactly what is meant. The problem is is you say, lack of common terms.
JP>Sorry if I'm being overly pendantic on the usage. I'm guessing from
JP>your sig that English isn't your native language. American English,
JP>especially our slang, can be a might confusing to people who didn't grow
JP>up with it.
It can also be confusing to people who _have_ grown up with it all their
lives. Ever try speaking in a new england accent down in Alabama or
Mississippi? :-)
