We were at the range yesterday were another shooter was experimenting with a wide diversity of loads. Caliber might not matter, but let's assume 9mm if it does make any difference.
The ultimate question is about the process: Are their calculations you can go through first to get close, or is it all empirical trial and error to determine how heavy a bullet you could use, and determining the maximum safe velocity of the round, and still get the action to cycle?
I believe there are 9mm rounds from 65gr up to 165gr. Process wise, could you come up with a very speedy 45gr round or a very slow 300gr round?
