I'm sorry, but I don't think I understand the question. To reach 1400 ft/lb of muzzle energy with a 124 grain bullet we would have to reach about 2300 fps muzzle velocity. The 9 mm Luger cartridge, with a 123 - 125 grain bullet, typically has a muzzle velocity of 1100 - 1200 fps, and produces between about 350 - 400 ft/lb of muzzle energy. Can you help me understand your question?

Best regards,

Kyrie
