I went to the range and shot some Aguila 124 9mm and some WWB 115 9mm.
Each brand was shot from the same gun and the gun was aimed with the front sight centered and the center point of the red bullseye sitting on top of the front blade. I was hoping that the point of impact would be the center of the red bullseye.
I was out twelve yards. I am new.
The Aguila grouped nicely but a little low.
The WWB grouped decently but a little high, roughly an inch higher.
Past threads I read say heavier goes higher, but this did not happen.
SO:
Is it likely that the Augila is a bit lower powered and that accounts for the lower hits?
Could the WWB be a bit snappier and maybe I flinch or the muzzle flips up a bit before the bullet leaves?
Or was I too close to the target?
Obviously I am no marksman, but these two brands in these two weights clearly resulted in slightly lower hits for the heavier.
I don't want to start an argument and there are many threads on the heavier higher and lighter lower issue. I am just trying to find one ammo that I can buy a lot of and try to focus on how that one ammo performs as I try to move back to 15 yards, where I hit the target easily but not with consistent groups.
The Augila seems to group more consistently for me in this gun so maybe I just need a case of Augila and then to focus on getting better groupings.
I will say thanks here.
