My 11 year old daughter had decided she wants to shoot steel matches with me. I thought about starting her off with a 22, but since I can't find mags or ammo for 22 I am going to let her use my old M&P Pro 9mm. She handles the recoil from factory loads as well as my reloads, but I want to try and come up with a reliable reduced power load to help her follow up shots. I will be ordering a lighter recoil spring and will be loading plated 147's with tite group. I'm looking for info on how low I can take it and still have it be reliable and safe.
Thanks for any info.
