This is especially important today as powder technology has improved combustion and consistency from the 'Luger'' days.
I only use 115gr to a max of 124gr on occasion ... never use P, +P or NATO.

Overpressure ammo, also known as +P ammo, is ammo that is loaded to generate a higher-than-standard chamber pressure during ignition. A +P cartridge will give its bullet a faster than usual muzzle velocity. This in turn confers a flatter trajectory and the delivery of more kinetic energy to the target but could also stress older firearms barrels and breaches to the point of destruction.

Not worth it IMO
