    New to pistol

    About to start pistol reloading, (reloading rifle for 6 years), and I’m curious to know if there is much difference in POI when shooting from 7-10 yards, when loading between min and max loads?

    What is the point of loading hotter than? If the min load shoots OK, why go any higher?
    I don’t shoot comps., so my loads will be for plinking and carry ammo.

    Terminal performance. It doesn’t mater much for target or plinking, but for carry/hunting it could make a lot of difference. If a bullet is not expanding or penetrating well at 1000fps it may do better at 1200fps.
