So I took out the new 9mm 147gn FP that I've been making and saw some interesting results.
>> Non-'scientific', NO benchrest (ie. handheld @ 40'). Same gun (P226), same POA (as best as I could)
I'll have to do some closer examination and testing but the RED grouping is factory Venom 115 FMJ
and the BLUE grouping is 147.
I almost never hit on the right/east side of the target but almost all of the 147 fell there.
The 115 FMJs were all clustered in the southwest which is more 'normal' for me although this was still oddly 'low'
Just trying to understand (within the limits of handholding) why the bullet/powder choice would
yield something like this. I do like the 'hole puncher' effect though!
